“Pérez Galdós, Benito
(1843–1920).
Spanish novelist, playwright, and journalist, born in the Canary
Islands, who spent most of his life in Madrid, a city of which he
became the chronicler. His output was vast: he published a series of
46 historical novels between 1873 and 1912, to which he gave the
general title of Episodios nacionales (Scenes from the
History of the Nation). Of his novels of contemporary life, the
best known is his masterpiece, Fortunata y Jacinta (1887),
an extraordinarily rich, realistic, densely populated panoramic work
which follows the fortunes of two contrasted women, but also explores
Spanish society, history, and politics. Galdós greatly admired both
Charles
*Dickens and William
*Shakespeare, and made many visits to England,
where he was elected fellow of the Royal
Society of Literature.”
