La metáfora del viaje en Un viaje de novios de Emilia Pardo Bazán

Resumen

Within the vast corpus of the
nineteenth century Spanish narrative, Emilia
Pardo Bazán’s Un viaje de novio, deserve a
different consideration due to a particular style
adopted by the author and the consideration of
travel as an allegory of life. The author departs,
hence fore, from the way how travel was
understood in the nineteenth century when
writers based their travel writings or novels on
the scientific and educational aspects. Pardo
Bazan explores the transcendental aspect of
travel fact and this paper studies the different
techniques used by the writer to develop the
metaphor of travel considering the geographical
movement as an internal trip. The subjective
and progressive transformation of the main
protagonist, according to the itinerary of the
trip, is studied as that internal journey.
