<p>Dulce due��o&nbsp;[Sweet Master] (1911) the last novel by&nbsp;Emilia Pardo Baz��n challenges the rigid classifications imposed on the author throughout her literary career. It is an anti-dogmatic novel that transcends both literary and gender boundaries.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Together with&nbsp;La Quimera&nbsp;(1905) and&nbsp;La Sirena negra&nbsp;(1908)&nbsp;Dulce due��o&nbsp;forms the emblematic trilogy of Pardo Baz��n's modernist phase. Her adoption and reworking of aesthetic elements -such as the refined use of light color sound and silence; the pursuit of beauty; and the interplay of history legends and innovative worldviews- demonstrate her participation in modernist literature. At the same time&nbsp;Dulce due��o&nbsp;brings Pardo Baz��n's novelistic trajectory to a close prioritizing for the first time in her work the feminine perspective since it has a woman protagonist narrator and author of the autobiography into which the text evolves. Grounded in a defense of individual freedom the novel offers a bold response to the limitations and categorizations imposed on women in maternal educational sexual scientific political and religious contexts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While acknowledging Pardo Baz��n's significance as the introducer of naturalism in Spain this critical edition seeks to move beyond reductive classifications that confine her to a specific generation movement and literary genre. Instead it highlights her interdisciplinary contributions to modernism her engagement with emerging genres like detective fiction and her advocacy for women's voices.&nbsp;</p><p>This edition proposes reading&nbsp;Dulce due��o&nbsp;as a female&nbsp;Bildungsroman featuring a dandy protagonist who must confront the societal gaze of those attempting to appropriate her individuality. The critical introduction offers a historical-cultural narratological feminist and interdisciplinary approach that mirrors the rich and diverse cultural production of Emilia Pardo Baz��n.</p>
