Description:
Just as Vernon’s interests have been many and varied, as the long list of his scholarly publications shows us, the essays included in this volume approach nineteenth-century literature from different caitical perspectives. They range from studies on Galdos’s most well-known works to studies on lesser-known works by understudied writers. Collectively, however, they all increase our understanding of the literature and culture of Spain durian the nineteenth-century.
