Abstract

In "Arredor de si" (1930), the Galician writer Ramón Otero Pedrayo enables an intercultural dialogue between his own interpretation of Spanish cultural distinctiveness and the centripetal associations of two of the most representative novels of the philosophy and fiction of the Generation of 1898. "Camino de perfección" (1902), by Pío Baroja, and "La Voluntad" (1902) by José Martínez Ruiz, are works that constitute some of the principal informative means through which the invention of modern Spanish national culture is sustained. This article examines the nature of that dialogue, and its implications for the interpretation of national cultures in Spain.
