Anales galdosianos [Publicaciones periódicas]. Año XII, 1977 Part VII, pp. 412-440, provides a description and contents of the twelve volumes of the Obras inéditas edited by Alberto Ghiraldo. Hernández Suárez has not located the original publication of the vast majority of the works printed in this collection of Obras inéditas . In view of Shoemaker's remarks concerning Ghiraldo's editing of material from the Buenos Aires La prensa , it might be helpful to know the publication source of the original, so that this could be used rather than the Ghiraldo version. Part VIII, pp. 442-444 is « Memorias ». Part IX, pp. 446-460 is « Prólogos ». Part X, pp. 462-470 is « Viajes ». Part XI, pp. 472-478 is « Discursos ». Part XII, pp. 481-482 is « Poesías ». Part XIII, pp. 485-515 is « Artículos » arranged by journal and material is chronologically listed under the name of the journal. Part XIV, « Cartas », pp. 517-532, provides bibliographical data on Galdós's published correspondence. These forty-two references are valuable because they reprint the text of slightly more than a dozen letters, which will allow scholars to have more ready access to them as some of them were published originally in newspapers and periodicals that are not readily available. Hernández Suárez has done all Galdosians a great favor in this section of his bibliography. It is to be noted that Hernández Suárez omits from this list William H. Shoemaker, « Una amistad literaria: La correspondencia epistolar entre Galdós y Narciso Oller », Boletín de la Real Academia de Buenas Letras , 30; 247-306 (1963-1964). One could with little effort expand this section. Part XV, p. 533, provides data on Galdós' translation of Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers. Part XVI, pp. 539-541, is « Misceláneas », i. e., « Declaraciones » and « Entrevistas ». The index covers pp. 545-553. Unfortunately there is no title index or index of editors and translators. One is struck by the fact that many bibliographical sources such as the Index translationum , the printed catalogs of such libraries as the Library of Congress and the British Museum, Ludmilla Buketoff Turkevich, Spanish literature in Russian and in the Soviet Union 1734-1964 (Metuchen, The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 1967), pp. 143-148, national bibliographies and the 1965 Harvard Ph. D. dissertation by Leo Jerome Hoar, «Pérez Galdós and his critics, Galdós and the Novelas contemporáneas as seen in the Spanish press of his day», apparently were not available to Hernández Suárez or as in the case of the Index transtationum not fully utilized. Our list of omissions is made not with the idea of being critical of Hernández Suárez, for it would be hard to produce a comprehensive bibliography of an author of Galdós' importance without the 184
Anales galdosianos [Publicaciones periódicas]. Año XII, 1977 assistance of a rather large body of correspondents scattered throughout the leading countries of the world, but it is hoped that it will indicate some of the types of material which for one reason or another Hernández Suárez found it impossible to include. The use of Turkevich would have provided data on fourteen Russian and Lithuanian translations (see items 852-55, 858, 860-63, 866, 868-71) as well as a translation of a Pérez Galdós short story found in item No. 1759. In addition the use of this volume would have provided additional data on the Russian items included such as the name(s) of some of the translators and would have provided the Russian titles of certain of the translations for which Hernández Suárez provides only the title of the Spanish original. One-of the largest bibliographical gaps in the Hernández Suárez bibliography is that of Galdós' publications in newspapers and periodicals that he was unable to examine and list. Thus, on p. 506 he writes: « Galdós publicó numerosos artículos en el diario La Prensa de Buenos Aires... A pesar de nuestros esfuerzos nos ha sido imposible conseguir la relación completa de los artículos de don Benito. Anotamos los siguientes, reproducidos en periódicos de Las Palmas ». He then lists two items. We now know thanks to William H. Shoemaker, Las cartas desconocidas de Galdós en «La Prensa» de Buenos Aires (Madrid, 1973) that this Argentine newspaper published 176 « cartas » or articles by Galdós. On p. 504, Hernández Suárez disposes of Galdós' contributions to the Revista del movimiento intelectual de Europa in seven lines. He notes that Leo J. Hoar's, Jr, edition of these articles (Madrid, Insula, 1968) reprints forty articles by Galdós that appeared in this periodical. He notes that « Muchos de ellos tratan los mismos temas o son fragmentos de los publicados en La Nación ». Individuals who wish data on contributions to this Revista ... will not find it in this bibliography. They will be forced to consult the Hoar compilation. Access to the Hoar dissertation would have allowed him to expand his data concerning selections from the Novelas contemporáneas published in Spanish newspapers during his lifetime. Hoar notes that «Many of these secondary publications or fragments were often published in the press to coincide with the publication of, and create interest in, the novel from which they were taken, or, in order to celebrate some event directly related to Galdós and his career» (leaf 419). The following list shows several dozen items that I do not find in the Hernández Suárez bibliography: La batalla de los Arapiles : 185
