Abstract

This essay analyzes Castillo y Mayone’s musical novel Adelaida o el suicidio (Adelaide or The Suicide) from the perspective of the history of the book and print culture in Spain in the 1830s. Its aim is to breach the gap between the world of the text (visual, discursive, and musical elements) and the world of the reader (social practices of readers and hearers) by reconstructing the process of the actualization of texts in its historical and sociological dimension.
