Las huellas de la Guerra Civil: Mito y Trauma en la narrativa de la España democrática Madrid: Libertarias, 2006. 429 pages.
“an indispensable volume that includes a wealth of references […] the provocative combination of timely and relevant theories and insightful readings should make it central to late 20th Century Spanish cultural criticism” (Elizabeth Scarlett, MLN 123.2, March 2008: 431-33)
“Moreno-Nuño has written an intelligent and highly pertinent study on war, memory, and trauma […] Importantly, the book offers a strong chronological sense of transformation in the context of democracy without yielding to Manichean pronouncements of difference” (David Herzberger, author of Narrating the Past: Fiction and Historiography in Postwar Spain, ALEC33.1, 2008: 206-08).
“Sin lugar a dudas, el ensayo de Moreno-Nuño es, tanto por su lucidez crítica como por la abundante documentación bibliográfica de que nutre su argumentación, un perfecto ejemplo de logrado híbrido de análisis filológico y de reflexión crítica […] su contribución aparece en el panorama crítico como lugar de obligada referencia” (Palmar Álvarez-Blanco, Hispania 91, May 2008: 381-382).
“Las huellas de la Guerra Civil es un estudio bien escrito y abundantemente documentado en el que Moreno-Nuño demuestra su dominio de un amplio registro teórico, así como su profundo conocimiento de la bibliografía sobre el tema” (Francisca López, Dissidences,
“Este libro es una perfecta síntesis, un modelo de erudición, una enciclopedia sobre el tema y una fina crítica de los textos analizados” (Salvador Oropesa, Letras Peninsulares 21.1, 2008: 178-80).
“Huellas de la Guerra Civil is an ambitious project. It provides the nonexpert with the thoughtful and historically rigorous introduction to the literary impact of the repressed individual and collective memories about the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship. The book should prove most useful, however, to teachers and professors designing courses around the theme of the ‘memory wars’ so intensely discussed currently in Spain and among Hispanists internationally” (Gina Herrmann, Hispanic Review, Spring 2009: 276-79)
“No es ésta la ocasión para calibrar cada uno de los siete capítulos que configuran esta espléndida monografía. Baste con insistir en la relevancia de los aportes innovadores de los capítulos primero y segundo” [José Manuel López de Abiada, Iberoamericana IX. 35, 2009: 226-28)
“destacar la buena calidad del estudio de Carmen Moreno-Nuño, con una abundante y bien surtida bibliografía, y con análisis certeros e inteligentes de las cuestiones analizadas. Su rigor en el tratamiento del texto literario –su hacerle aflorar en su calidad sin enterrarlo bajo gruesas capas de erudición gratuita– debería ser modelo a seguir e imitar” (Txetu Aguado, Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies 10.2, June 2009: 269-70)
