Abstract

Although all of the women’s dreams in Galdós’s Novelas Contemporáneas were included in Joseph Schraibman’s Dreams in the Novels of Galdós, there have been subsequent augmentations of Schraibman’s findings, focusing primarily on the well-known dream of Fortunata at the end of part III of Fortunata y Jacinta.¹ In response to the lack of sustained interest concerning dreams in the Episodios, there is a new study forthcoming, “Dreaming about History: Galdós’s Oneiric Realism,” which focuses exclusively on male dreams and male daydreams /reverie in the Episodios’ fourth and fifth series.² This choice of Galdós’s late fiction is motivated by the challenge that here dreams are difficult to locate and also difficult to differentiate from daydream/reverie.³
