Pedagogy and novel in Spain: from realism to the Literary avant-garde

Authors

Fermín Ezpeleta Aguilar

Abstract

This paper discusses the presence of the character teacher or professor, carrier of pedagogical ideas, in the Spanish novel of the period between realism and the avant-garde. From the review of sixty-six novels and fifteen stories, it inquires about educational concepts and subgenres. The examination of the character leads to the separation of four narrative modes: schoolteachers (male and female) in the realistic novel, the philosopher-educator in the lyric novel, the teacher-cleric in the religious boarding school subject to the scheme of anti-Bildungsroman, and University Professor, with subsidiary role, in novels of universitary life.
