Modern matter: disentailment and the religious question
At the heart of the nation: domestic wellbeing and spiritual patrimony in Cecilia Böhl de Faber's La gaviota (1849), La familia de Alvareda (1856), Callar en vida y perdonar en muerte (1856), and Lágrimas (1862)
The hallowed, the haunting: remembering and restoring the sacred precinct in Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer's Historia de los templos de España (1857), Cartas desde mi celda (1864), and Leyendas (1858-1864)
A new vital force: reconstructing Spain's spiritual body in Benito Pérez Galdós's Doña Perfecta (1876), Gloria (1877), Mendizábal (1898), and Montes de Oca (1900)
The abyss and the mount: questions of faith, family, and tradition in José María de Pereda's El Tío Cayetano (1858-1859), Blasones y talegas (1869), De tal palo, tal astilla (1880), and Sotileza (1884)
