Benito Perez Galdos has been described as 'the greatest Spanish novelist since Cervantes.' His work constitutes a major contribution to the nineteenth-century novel, rivalling that of Dickens of Balzac and making him an essential candidate for any course on the fiction of the period. Jo Labanyi's study is supported by a wide-rangting introduction, a section of contemporary comment, headnotes to each piece and helpful appendix material.

Women in the Theatre of Galdós

Authors: Lisa P. Condé

Categories: Social Science

Type: BOOK - Published: 1990 - Publisher: Lewiston, N.Y. ; Queenston, Ont. : E. Mellen Press

This study provides an examination of the Spanish novelist Perez Galdos' turn to the stage in 1892 and his simultaneous shift in approach towards the roles of women in society. Particular attention is paid to the creation of and compromise involved in Galdos' dramatic debut, Realidad, which marks a significant turning point in both artistic and ideological terms. The study analyzes through the contemporary drama of the first period the subsequent evolution of La Mujer Nueva on stage. All the relevant manuscripts, correspondence, and reviews available in the CasaMuseo and the Biblioteca Nacional have been studied in order to present a comprehensive picture of this phase in Galdos' career.

A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula

Authors: César Domínguez, Anxo Abuín González, Ellen Sapega

Categories: Literary Criticism

Type: BOOK - Published: 2016-10-20 - Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company

Volume 2 of A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula brings to an end this collective work that aims at surveying the network of interliterary relations in the Iberian Peninsula. No attempt at such a comparative history of literatures in the Iberian Peninsula has been made until now. In this volume, the focus is placed on images (Section 1), genres (Section 2), forms of mediation (Section 3), and cultural studies and literary repertoires (Section 4). To these four sections an epilogue is added, in which specialists in literatures in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as in the (sub)disciplines of comparative history and comparative literary history, search for links between Volumes 1 and 2 from the point of view of general contributions to the field of Iberian comparative studies, and assess the entire project that now reaches completion with contributions from almost one hundred scholars.

Tristana

Authors: Pablo Valdivia

Categories: Literary Criticism

Type: BOOK - Published: 2016-09-22 - Publisher: Manchester University Press

Tristana is a novel where love, hate and power converge into a triangle of domination and frustration.Galdós', following the ideas of the Free Teaching Institution, intervened in the arena of the debate around the emancipation of women and their incorporation into the public sphere. Tristana, a young woman subjected to the rule of the tyrannical Don Lope, idealistically tries to find her purpose on life but she ends trapped by the rules of a world dominated by men who only see her as the object of their desire. Written in an experimental manner that defies the boundaries of theatre, epistolary and novel genres, Galdós' displays the purest nature of his characters by presenting their contradictions, weaknesses and virtues. He uses a deliberately ambiguous style that seeks to address fundamental questions regarding the unbalances of a Madrid in times of turbulence, but leaves the reader to draw their own meaning.
