El desengaño del naturalismo: análisis de la evolución de algunos novelistas españoles del siglo XIX

Abstract

The evolution of the Spanish writers' production during the Restoration exemplifies the constant attempt to assimilate the techniques of Naturalism, without necessarily conforming to its ideological premises. Among other aspects, this essay investigates the possibility of exploiting the idea of «Romantic hypotext» as a productive concept in the history of XIX^th century literature —so as to open the way to the overcoming of the traditional dualism between Realism and Naturalism—, and draws the attention to the formal, stylistic and linguistic aspects of the text so far subordinated to the concern for content.
