Tradition and Originality in Nazarín and Halma

Panel: 
Spanish and Portuguese (Peninsular) I
Abstract: 

In Galdós's Halma, a "Spanish mystic tradition" is invoked to question the originality of Russian realism. This invention of an "organic" tradition is a defense against foreign influence, much in the same way that Galdós previously defended a "Spanish realist tradition" that predated French realism.
