Libido into Literature: The "Primera Epoca" of Benito Perez Galdos
This book traces Galdos's earliest thinking concerning the dynamic relationship among individual, society and nature as it develops and changes in this early phase of his writing. It elucidates the imagery, the symbolism, evocative language, biblical and mythological motifs, the rich battery of literary devices with which the greatest writer of Spain since Cervantes converts unconscious material into literature. The works covered represent a period of artistic apprenticeship and ideological struggle within Galdos's mind.
