Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) was a prolific Spanish realist
novelist, who through a lack of good translations is virtually
unknown outside Spain, though he has been compared as second only
to Cervantes in Spanish literature and whose work is considered to
give the deepest, truest, most comprehensive realities of Spain.
Dona Perfecta (1876) was Galdos' first novel delving into the
social world of middle-class Spain in the 19th century; a young
liberal arrives in an imaginary cathedral city, with the intention
of marrying his cousin. However the church interferes and obstructs
the marriage, leading to a tragic clash between the traditional,
provincial outlook and modern, liberal outlook of Madrid. Graham
Whittaker's edition with Spanish text, English translation and
substantial introduction aims to make this important novel widely
available in English and the introduction and notes provide a
comprehensive overview of the novel and Galdos' work. Spanish text
with facing-page translation, commentary and notes.
