Anales galdosianos [Publicaciones periódicas]. Año XII, 1977 An Evaluation of Bibliografía de Galdós, I by Manuel Hernández Suárez Hensley C. Woodbridge Galdosianos have long felt the lack of a bibliography of material by and about the great Spanish author. The Galdós bibliographer faces challenges not faced by those who prepare bibliographies on authors of less importance. Galdós was a prolific author; his works went through numerous editions. Outside of Cervantes, he is probably Spain's most translated author. He contributed to numerous newspapers and journals. Many of his works have been made into textbooks and parts of his works appear in numerous anthologies for world literature. Several of his works have been made into movies and their scripts published. In regard to biographical and critical studies on Galdós, in academic circles in the United States there would appear to have been written more dissertations on him than Cervantes and Galdós, especially in recent years, has been the subject of books, articles and lectures wherever Spanish is spoken or taught. All studens of Benito Pérez Galdós will find themselves immeasurably in the debt of Manuel Hernández Suárez and his Bibliografía de Galdós , I, [Las Palmas], Ediciones del Excmo. Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria, 1972 (the colophon is dated 1974), xiv, 553 pp. His efforts in compiling this volume and the one to follow, a bibliography of material about Galdós, can only be highly applauded. It may be that only another bibliographer can truly appreciate the long and tedious hours that Hernández Suárez has spent in compiling this bibliography. He has centered his research in the libraries of Madrid (chiefly the Biblioteca Nacional) and the Museo Canario and the Casa-Museo Pérez Galdós in Las Palmas. Many of the title pages that are reproduced are from material found in the Casa-Museo. Hernández Suárez has worked many years on this bibliography and his care and devotion to his subject are apparent throughout. This is a first attempt at a comprehensive bibliography of material by Galdós. It would seem that the compiler hoped to cover Galdós' publications through the mid-1960's, for there are very few items listed published after 1965 and none after 1968. For material by and about Galdós published after this date the interested student and scholar should use the carefully classified bibliographies of Galdós that Hernández Suárez has contributed on an almost annual basis to the Anales galdosianos . Hernández Suárez began publishing his supplements to this main volume even before it had been published. 182
Anales galdosianos [Publicaciones periódicas]. Año XII, 1977 This review is divided into two main parts. The first part is an outline of the bibliography's contents and arrangement. The second part details some of the types of material omitted in an effort to show a few of the volume's limitations. Part I, pp. 17-24, deals with the Obras completas of 1941-1942. Part II, « Novelas », pp. 29-168, arranges the novels in chronological order of their publication. Each novel is divided in two parts: a listing of those published in Spain in Spanish and « Otras ediciones », Spanish editions or translations published outside of Spain arranged by country as well as Catalan translations. Thus the 51 items under Doña Perfecta begin with its publication in the Revista de España followed by the first edition of 1876, items 3-16 provide data on editions published in Spain, whereas the other entries deal with it as published in Argentina, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, U. S. A., France, Holland, Hungary, England, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Rumania, Russia rather than Soviet Union, Sweden, Uruguay and Yugoslavia. This listing will really provide us with a knowledge of Hernández Suárez's data on translations by country, but it does not necessarily provide data concerning the number of languages into which a given work has appeared. From the data provided under Czechoslovakia it would appear that Doña Perfecta has appeared in both Czeck and Slovak. Hernández Suárez provides no data concerning the language of the Yugoslav translation. It must be emphasized that to a great extent this is an enumerative bibliography rather than a descriptive one. The first edition of Doña Perfecta is described in only two lines. It is also to be noted that though Galdós sometimes revised his works (this was particularly true for the ending of several novels), Hernández Suárez provides no notes that would call such textual matters to the user's attention. One would be entitled to believe that the texts of all Spanish editions are the same. A note at the end of the Spanish section of those novels whose endings were changed or in which numerous textual changes were made might have referred the reader to pertinent critical studies on this point. In this section Hernández Suárez lists four reviews (pp. 48, 86, 137). He would have done better either to have listed all known reviews along with the edition or translation reviewed or listed all reviews in a special section of volume two when it appears. It makes no sense to list only four reviews of the hundreds that must exist. Part III, pp. 171-348, is a bibliography of the Episodios nacionales with the same arrangement as part II. Part IV, pp. 350-390 is « Teatro ». Part V, pp. 392-396, is « Adaptaciones teatrales » and presents data on six plays based on Galdós' novels dramatized by others. Part VI, pp. 398-410, « Narraciones » presents data on 23 short pieces of fiction and Memoranda . 183
