Her most famous novel, The House of Ulloa, took as its theme the moral (and actual) ruin of the aristocracy in Galicia and set it against a poetic depiction of country life. She met and learned from de Maupassant, infusing her stories with telling detail and psychological insight. Her stories are almost always quite short—pithy and to the point. She championed the rights of women and often took aspects of women’s daily lives as her themes. She taught literature at the University of Madrid and received the rare (in those days) distinction of being honored with an endowed chair in literature. This was my introduction to her writing and I was impressed enough that I will look for other stories of hers and maybe even crack open The House of Ulloa. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Although written a century ago, the sixteen stories by Emilia Pardo Bazán collected in this volume are strikingly relevant to contemporary concerns. Noted for narrative complexity, stylistic variety, and feminist themes, Pardo Bazán's stories explore many aspects of the relationships between men and women. Readers of these stories will encounter memorable and affecting characters. A mysterious nun spends her days in a convent crying over something that happened to her many years ago, when she was a young woman. A young man tries to uncover the true reason a scheming woman married his uncle. An unwed pregnant woman finds unexpected help from a misogynist doctor. A bachelor wishing to marry develops a special test for prospective wives, only to see it backfire. And in the title story, a bride suddenly calls off her wedding at the last possible moment without an explanation. Both outspoken and witty, melancholy and humorous, these stories will interest general readers as well as students and scholars of Spanish literature.
