Book Synopsis
Analyses the 'waste versus profit' concept (as propounded by the British author Samuel Smiles and which found many supporters in mid-nineteenth century Spain) in the four novels of the "Torquemada" series, by Benito Perez Galdos.

Trade Review
'The study represents a valuable addition to Galdos criticism, as well as critical analysis of the Spanish realist novel of the last half of the nineteenth century. It provides a much needed analysis of key discourses of the day and the way in which Galdos responded to them. The book itself is well organized and edited, features which have not always been given their due importance in recent studies in literary criticism. Such attention to detail is much appreciated.' Mary L. Coffey, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, 86 (2009)
