Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Galdós, perhaps better than anyone else, caught the real spirit of Spain. He knew intimately Spain and her people. He thoughtfully examined the character of the Spaniard, and weighed his good qualities and his bad. The novelist's aim was always to bring to the attention of Spain her strong points and her defects, that she might build on the former and rid herself of the latter. Thus, his novels are directed at social and psychological reform. He wanted to create a new national consciousness, based on a combination of the old virtues and the new ideas.
