George Ticknor’s Travel in Spain and His Journals (1818)
Abstract
This paper, after introducing briefly George Ticknor and his european tour, carries out the analysis of his Diarios de viaje por España, which this famous American Hispanist wrote during his visit to the Iberian Peninsula in 1818. These journals, in part unpublished and untranslated, show a Spain that is overcoming the Spanish war of Independence and the national landscape and peasantry, which the author studies carefully searching for the essence of the Spanish popular character. All these issues are thus part of this study on Diarios de viaje por España by George Ticknor.
