No definitive critical study has yet been made of any side of Galdós'
work. The following list, by no means complete, does not include general
histories of Spanish literature, encyclopedia articles or reviews in
contemporary periodicals of first performances. The best of the
last-named are those by Gómez de Baquero in _España moderna_. Criticisms
dealing only with the novels of Galdós are not cited here.
