Wisdom of Eccentric Old Men : A Study of Type and Secondary Character in Galdos's Social Novels, 1870-1897 PDF
by Peter Anthony Bly
- Information
Description
Bly's principal revelation is that Galdos deliberately and consistently used this secondary type to emphasize the significance of the major plot developments and to underline the strengths or weaknesses of principal characters.
In filling these roles the eccentric old men develop from comic shallow types into more complex secondary characters, men of insight and wisdom, who occupy a pivotal position in the novels.
