Abstract

The last novel of Emilia Pardo Bazán, Dulce Dueño (1911), has fascinated female
scholars on account of its masochistic mysticism, which is hard to reconcile with the author’s
feminism. The essay argues, in keeping with Dupont’s 2018 study, that the writer’s Catholicism
should be taken seriously. After considering Pardo Bazán’s ambivalent relationship to fin-desiècle
decadentism, the essay ends by attempting an interpretation of the novel through the
theorization of masochism by Gilles Deleuze, in order to ascertain whether a feminist reading of
this disconcerting text is possible.
