Viajeras bostonianas : Diarios de un viaje por España

Bostonian Travelers is the Spanish edition of the personal diary of American painter Anna Parker Dixwell; a fascinating account of the travels she and some friends, also renowned artists, undertook through late 19th-century Spain. With a sharp, sensitive, and surprisingly modern eye, Dixwell captures the impressions of these creative women, who traveled alone and defied the prejudices of their time, sharing personal and professional projects, as well as reflections on art, museums, and the monuments they visited. The diary, a valuable document of the transatlantic encounter between two cultures, offers, in addition to anecdotes from the journey and encounters with the intellectuals of the time, insightful commentary on Spanish society, while dismantling many of the common stereotypes held by foreigners about our country.
