| Sumario: | This dissertation analyses several poetic compositions by the Romantic author Felicia Hemans that deal with Spain. Its main focuses the way in which the author uses Spanish landscapes and spaces to establish a link with Britain at a time of conflict and political instability in European geopolitics. Her poems present a Romanticized and Orientalized image of Spain, which is described as an exotic and distant place, but at the same time the author exploits pathos and sentiment, associating these spaces with positive values and feelings to create a favorable image of them for her readers. Thus, Hemans makes Spain, a distant and exotic place for the British imaginary of the time, appear familiar and close at the same time. |
