María Zambrano’s La España de Galdós was first published in 1960. Nevertheless, it was a work in progress written over the course of several decades. The essayist and philosopher published an essay in Hora de España as early as 1938 in which she had pinpointed the importance of Misericordia and the relevance of Galdós as a writer. The purpose of the following pages is to understand the way in which Zambrano read and symbolized the component elements of this novel. The article also compares aspects of Zambrano’s reading of this book with the opinions expressed by other intellectuals. In this way the originality of her study will be more easily appreciated.

Keywords : María Zambrano; Pérez Galdós; Misericordia; Spanish literature; 19^th century narrative.
