"Doña Perfecta" by Benito Pérez Galdós is a realist novel published in 1876. When liberal-minded Pepe Rey arrives in the provincial cathedral city of Orbajosa to marry his cousin Rosario in an arranged match, he expects a simple union. Instead, he faces fierce opposition from his aunt Doña Perfecta and the meddling cathedral canon Don Inocencio. Their conflict exposes a bitter clash between modern liberal values and traditional provincial power, revealing the
church's overwhelming influence in nineteenth-century Spain. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
