The so-called “Silver Age” of Spain ran from 1898 to the rise of Franco 
in 1939 and was characterized by intense urbanization, widespread class 
struggle and mobility, and a boom in mass culture. This book offers a 
close look at one manifestation of that mass culture: weekly collections 
of short, often pocket-sized books sold in urban kiosks at low prices. 
These series published a wide range of literature in a variety of genres 
and formats, but their role as disseminators of erotic and anarchist 
fiction led them to be censored by the Franco dictatorship. This book 
offers the most detailed scholarly analysis of kiosk literature to date, 
examining the kiosk phenomenon through the lens of contemporary 
interdisciplinary theories of urban space, visuality, celebrity, gender 
and sexuality, and the digital humanities.
