Note 308 — Chapter XXVII · DIVES CALLAECIA
Reading edition
“Her earliest success was a prize essay on Feijoó, 1876, ... her foundation of a critical review, the Nuevo Teatro Critico, written entirely by herself, showed confidence and enterprise, and enabled her to propagate her eclectic views on life and art. It is as a naturalistic novelist that Señora Pardo Bazán is generally known” (James Fitzmaurice Kelly, in A History of Spanish Literature, 1898). The great Benedictine, Feijoó, was also a native of Galicia.
