These works rewrite negative narratives of aging popular in Galician folksongs, which frequently targeted elderly peasant women (vellas) as objects of satire and ridicule. I argue that the positive framing of feminine senescence in these texts reflects the Galician author's desire to incorporate both regional and feminine discourses into her articulation of the Spanish nation. Through her authorial intervention, Pardo Bazán positions herself, not unproblematically, as a privileged arbiter of Galician popular traditions, coopting the vella into her cosmopolitan self-fashioning as a cultural elite. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Hispanic Review is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
