Ideología y estética en Los Pazos de Ulloa

Abstract

Emilia Pardo Bazán’s work never completely supported the French naturalist movement. Rather, it was given to the fusion of Spanish traditional realism with social elements from French novels. In her narrative work, she captures contemporary life without interposition of any literary tenet. Therefore, most critics deny the existence of naturalist theories in her texts. In any case, Los Pazos de Ulloa (1886- 1887), the height of her inspiration and expression as a writer, is now the object of study for finding connection points and theoretical disagreements with the naturalist method.
