This volume will give any instructor interested in teaching Galdós, including those who want to teach the works in translation, exciting ways of exploring his writing with their students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGaldós's concerns included the emergence of feminism, religion's power, the rising middle class, Spain's declining empire, increasing autocracy, and social conflict. Some essays in this volume discuss more familiar works, such as \u003ci\u003eMarianela\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTristana\u003c\/i\u003e, whereas others introduce little-known texts. Some approaches are designed for students new to textual analysis; others, for students who are eager for theoretical frameworks, including food studies, medical humanities, adaptation studies, and celebrity studies, and activities such as theater games and microblogging. From literary history to cultural studies, this volume's subjects are appropriate for courses in diverse settings and disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussion of the following works by Galdós: \"El cólera y la política,\" \u003ci\u003eLa desheredada\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDoña Perfecta\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eElectra\u003c\/i\u003e, \"La especulacion del miedo,\" \u003ci\u003eFortunata y Jacinta\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMarianela\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Precauciones sanitarias,\" \u003ci\u003eTormento\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTorquemada en la hoguera\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTristana\u003c\/i\u003e, and \"Tropiquillos.\" It also discusses Galdós adaptations and tributes such as the graphic novels \u003ci\u003e1892\u003c\/i\u003e, by Antonio Becerra Bolaños and Alberto Hernández Rivero, and \u003ci\u003eNela\u003c\/i\u003e, by Rayco Pulido Rodríguez; the telefilm \u003ci\u003ePrim, el asesinato de la calle del Turco\u003c\/i\u003e, written by Nacho Faerna and Virginia Yagüe; and the film \u003ci\u003eDoña Perfecta\u003c\/i\u003e, directed by Alejandro Galindo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liana Ewald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Language Association of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Approaches to Teaching World Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.07w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603297240","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45521198874761,"sku":"9781603297240","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_297e6b31-f2b1-40ca-966d-d11a47a91db5.jpg?v=1776226425","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/approaches-to-teaching-the-works-of-benito-pzsrez-galdzes-9781603297240","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
