Emilia Pardo Bazán est à l’origine de plusieurs œuvres ayant une grande influence spirituelle et catholique. Cette recherche étudie trois de ses contes du XIXème siècle qui mettent en évidence le personnage d’un pèlerin: El Peregrino, La danza del peregrino et La Borgoñona. Selon nous, ces contes ont la particularité d’être didactiques et ont une intention moralisatrice. Nous croyons que les points de vue des différents narrateurs incitent à un changement d’idéologie dans la société espagnole du XIXème siècle. L’étude du contexte historique et social de l’Espagne durant cette époque, ce qui inclut aussi la bibliographie de l’auteure, nous permettra de vérifier notre hypothèse. De plus, une analyse détaillée des différents narrateurs de chacun des contes, en utilisant la méthode proposée par Lintvelt, semble impérative. Ensuite, nous appliquons quelques concepts de sociocritique dans le but d’analyser les classes sociales et les luttes qui y sont représentées. Finalement, la définition de Goldmann nous est primordiale pour nous permettre de trouver la vision du monde qui ressort de chacune de ces histoires. L’ensemble de ce travail permet de démontrer l’intention derrière ces trois contes et de vérifier s’ils révèlent une grande influence catholique comme plusieurs autres œuvres de la même auteure.

The purpose of this investigation is to show the relationship between the autobiographical information evidenced by the principal female characters in Emilia Pardo Bazan's major novels and her influence on nineteenth-century feminism in Spain. The changing nature of Pardo Bazan's feminism is studied through an analysis of two literary phases in her work. In the first, classified as naturalistic, Pardo Bazan concentrates on the nineteenth century woman and her limited role within society. The second phase reveals a change of perspective as the author creates a character type: this "new woman" is an expression of her feminist beliefs. As Pardo Bazan sought support for feminist goals, diverse intellectual activities characterized her life and became an integral aspect of her art.

In the portrayal of the Galician people Pardo Bazán's naturalistic pessimism is more evident than in her descriptions of customs or landscape. Her characters are stifled and often shattered by living conditions. The environment weighs heavily upon them, bringing forth the more despicable aspects of human behavior. In spite of this, she succeeds in probing the soul of her countrymen and giving them life in her short stories.

abstract: In this work we review certain biographical and historical data concerning Sor Juana and María Luisa, Condesa de Paredes. In addition, we have chosen Ovillejos 214, Romance 61, Redondillas 90 and 91 as poems that provides important insight into their relationship of patronage and friendship. In order to delineate theoretically both aspects of this relationship --the public and the personal-- we make use of the concept of ekphrasis proposed by Frederick de Armas. This concept is applied to the analysis of Romance 61, which is in the tradition of the lyrical Petrarchan portrait. Redondillas 90 and 91 are examined from the theoretical perspective of Cicero's amicitia, which serves to define an alternative model of feminine amicitia. In constructing this model, we review the written criticism surrounding María de Zayas' comedy, La traición en la amistad (1635). This criticism insists on a certain configuration of feminine friendship necessary for understanding the relationship between the two women. As is demonstrated in the analysis of the poems, the two women developed a mutual and permanent affection for one another until the death of Sor Juana in 1695. The Condesa de Paredes also provided practical support to Sor Juana for the publication of her first book, Inundación castálida (1689), which launched her to literary fame. To date there have been no critical studies that apply the concepts of ekphrasis and feminine friendship to the study of anecdotal clues found in the poems of Sor Juana for analyzing the nature of her relationship with the Condesa. This is the contribution of the present work. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Spanish 2014
