Narcis Oller (1846-1930) is widely considered to be one of the founding fathers of the Catalan literary renaissance. Through his use of realism and naturalism styles, he brought to life rural and urban Catalan life and society from the 19th and 20th centuries, incorporating many of the sweeping political and social changes from the time in his works. His ability to create rich characters, beautiful landscapes and storylines that deal with the human psyche at its most extreme mean that he is still just as relevant as he was 100 years ago. Alan Yates (1944-) studied at the University of Cambridge before heading up the Hispanic Studies Department at the University of Sheffield. He has won numerous prizes for his work on the Catalan language.
