Galdós's treatment of prostitutes, alcoholics, beggars and vagrants is studied within the context of the socio-cultural and medical debates circulating during the period. Drawing on Foucault's very specific conceptualisation of the idea of control through discourses, the book analyses how Galdós's novels interacted with contemporary debates on poverty and deviancy - notably, discourses on hygiene, domesticity and philanthropy. It is proposed that Galdós's view of marginal social groups was much more open-minded, shrewd and liberal than the often inflexible pronouncements made by contemporary professional voices.Alcoholism in literatureDeviant behavior in literaturePoverty in literatureProstitution in literatureSocial control in literatureAlcoholism in literature.Deviant behavior in literature.Poverty in literature.Prostitution in literature.Social control in literature.863/.5Fuentes Peris Teresa1722305MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823891003321Visions of filth4122557UNINA
