The countess Emilia Pardo Bazán was born in 1851 and married at the age of sixteen. But rather than following the usual path of an upper-class woman of the time, she became interested in politics and philosophy, separated from her husband, travelled widely, had an affair with the writer Benito Pérez Galdós and started writing herself. The House of Ulloa (1886) is generally considered to be her masterpiece. She died in 1921.

DESCRIPTION - THE HOUSE OF ULLOA is one of the great nineteenth-century Spanish novels and the finest achievement of Emilia Pardo Bazan. It traces the decline of the old aristocracy at the time of the Glorious Revolution in 1868, while simultaneously exposing the moral vacuum at the heart of the new democracy. Its priest-hero, Father Julian, is a genuinely spiritual figure, tragically ineffectual in his struggle to prevent the fall of the House of Ulloa. Prolific writer, ardent feminist, traveller and intellectual, Pardo Bazan was one of the most dynamic and controversial figures in European literary society. This volume also contains extracts from her 'Notes Towards an Autobiography' in a first English translation. inventory #29194. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers z29194
