Este trabajo analiza un corpus de obras literarias de los siglos XX y XXI de escritoras españolas e hispanoamericanas que ofrecen la visión femenina del mito. Transfiriendo la voz a Eva, reescriben el argumento y redefinen a los personajes. El artículo se centra en el análisis de dos de las modificaciones que estas obras, manifiestamente hipertextuales, introducen respecto al hipotexto: la perspectiva y voz de Eva, y la transformación del relato de la creación de la pareja primigenia.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2023-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/lexis/article/view/27973Lexis; Vol. 47 No. 2 (2023); 909-944Lexis; Vol. 47 Núm. 2 (2023); 909-9440254-9239reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/lexis/article/view/27973/25978info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/279732024-10-07T17:46:25Z
