Resumo
This essay places Emilia Pardo Bazán’s short novel “Bucólica” (Revista de España, 1884) in the context of Spanish narrative in the eighties of the 19th century. Through the analysis of the central character, the young lawyer Joaquín Rojas, the text proposes an interpretation of the constitution of subjective identities through the novel and, specifically, of the figure of the jurist, one of the key actors and social models in that founding moment of the constitutional regime. Moreover, Joaquín’s own violence towards Maripepa, the young peasant girl he falls in love with, reveals his moral contradictions.
