Item description from seller

1993. xv, 310pp. "Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920) is generally recognized as Spain's greatest novelist since Cervantes. This is a wide-ranging exploration of the role of contemporary Spanish history in Galdós's fiction. The author also examines Galdós's treatment of historical themes in relation to such significant European writers as Tolstoy and Balzac. This is a major work of Galdós scholarship and an important contribution to the continuing debates concerning the complex relationship between history and fiction." Contents include: Galdos's contemporary novels and Episodios Nacaionales; The reign of Isabella II: Hopes and disappointments, 1843 - 1868; Prim and the Glorius Revolution of 1868; The idealistic reconstruction of history; et.al. Dust jacket has very slight wear to edges and corners; not price-clipped. Book has gilt titles to spine. Boards, pages, and contents are in NF condition with no inscriptions.
