The feminine character and temporal freedom in three historical novels by Angelina Mu��iz: Morada interior (1972), "El Mercader de Tudela" (1995) y "La Burladora de Toledo" (2008)

We focus on the representation of time in Mu��iz���s historical novels. Concretely, we stress the attitude of the feminine characters towards time and history. Mu��iz���s female personages continuously transgress temporal borders and move freely between different historical periods. We relate Mu��iz���s particular vision on time and on the separation lines between historical periods to her situation as an exile. The author is continuously crossing borders between the past of her homeland and the present of her adoptive country. We argument Mu��iz is recreating this ���borderfree��� attitude towards time in the female characters of her historical novels.
