Abstract

<p>Abstract:</p><p>After Cuban separatist Cirilo Villaverde sent a copy of his 1882 novel, <i>Cecilia Vald</i>é<i>s</i>, to Benito Pérez Galdós, the Spanish realist responded with praise alongside a pointed reference to the novelists&apos; differing views on Cuban nationalism. Two years later, Galdós would begin writing <i>Fortunata y Jacinta</i>, the plot and characters of which bear striking parallels to those of Villaverde&apos;s work. There exists little commentary on the influence of <i>Cecilia Valdés</i> in the peninsula and, particularly, on Galdós himself; however, when analyzed in dialogue with <i>Cecilia Valdés</i>, <i>Fortunata y Jacinta</i>, its characters, settings, and motifs, is illuminated as a response to Villaverde&apos;s anti-imperialist novel, and an expression of Galdós&apos;s own views of Spanish and Cuban nationalisms, or rather, a pan-Hispanic nationalism that unites them both.</p><p>Resumen:</p><p>Al recibir una copia de la novela <i>Cecilia Valdés</i> (1882) de Cirilo Villaverde, Benito Pérez Galdós le respondió con alabanzas a la vez que señalaba las diferencias de opinión de los dos respecto al nacionalismo cubano.
