Abstract

Unchanging Spain
Ellis, Havelock | February 16, 1927 issue

add to cart   close window

It is common to regard Spain as one of the most unchanging and conservative of European countries. The common belief is here not altogether wrong. But Spanish stability allows of considerable flexibility, even of a decided taste for novelty. Spain was eager, rather than backward, to adopt electricity, the gramophone, the cinema. There is no need to read Gautier's narrative of his tour through Spain to realize how much Spain has changed its aspects in less than a century.
