Benito Perez Galdos (10 May 1843 - 4 January 1920) was a Spanish realist novelist. He was a leading literary figure in 19th-century Spain, and some scholars consider him second only to Miguel de Cervantes in stature as a Spanish novelist. Perez Galdos was a prolific writer, publishing 31 major novels, 46 historical novels in five series, 23 plays, and the equivalent of 20 volumes of shorter fiction, journalism, and other writings. He remains popular in Spain, and is considered equal to Dickens, Balzac, and Tolstoy. He is less well-known in Anglophone countries, but some of his works have now been translated into English. His play, Realidad (1892), is important in the history of realism in the Spanish theater. Perez Galdos was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1912, but his opposition to religious authorities led to him being boycotted by conservative sectors of Spanish society, and traditionalist Catholics, who did not recognize his literary merit.
