| Abstrakt: |
Rural culture, particularly clothing, is an essential narrative element in Emilia Pardo Bazán's literary work. The Galician regional costume is an object of anthropological interest on the part of the author (founder of the Galician Folklore Society, 1883, and promoter of the Galician folklore questionnaire of 1885), a devotion that leads her to carry out exhaustive descriptions of this type of traditional clothing in works like La gallega, in stories like Eterna Ley and even in her most urban novel, represented by La Quimera. Her taste for regional dress serves a double purpose, to offer an anthropological vision of the popular outfit in Galicia and to characterize rural groups and some unforgettable characters such as Minia in Un destripador de antaño or Maripepiña in Bucólica.
