"Spanish novelist Benito Perez Galdos (1843-1920) stated that one of his greatest influences was the English novelist Charles Dickens. This study focuses on Dickens' use of type characters as tools for social criticism and the manner in which Galdos utilizes these same types in order to critique Spanish society. The three major types analysed in this study are the religious ascetic, the miser, and Dickens' and Galdos' versions of the Lazarillo, who is perceived as a type of national savior."--BOOK JACKET.
