description: Colin Partridge's critical excursus on the novel Tristana and its reception opens with an account of diametrically opposed readings by Galdos' contemporaries, Bazan, the feminist, and the novelist Clarin. Partridge then proceeds to relate the sources of Tristana in Galdos' personal experience, notably his relations with a succession of women. The closing section of Partridge's useful book is a critique of Luis Bunuel's film Tristana (1970), which shows how Bunuel employs cinematic equivalents of Galdos' cinematic narrative devices.
