Abstract

The article studies time and space in Emilia Pardo Bazán’s novel La última fada, an early 20th century narration about the son of Tristan and Isolde. The plot is taken from the Arthurian novel, but narrative sequences are arranged differently and the story is much more linear. The boundaries between our world and the afterlife have disappeared; time is not subject to distortions and a circular space corresponds to the linear time of the protagonist’s adventure, which begins and ends in the same place.

Keywords: medievalism, chronotope, waiting
