This book explores how notions of deviancy and social control are dramatized in the novels of the late nineteenth-century Spanish realist author Benito P�9rez Gald�3s. Gald�3s�2s treatment of prostitutes, alcoholics, beggars and vagrants is studied within the context of the socio-cultural and medical debates circulating during the period. Drawing on Foucault�2s very specific conceptualization of the idea of control through discourses, the book analyzes how Gald�3s�2s novels interacted with contemporary debates on poverty and deviancy �6 notably, discourses on hygiene, domesticity and philanthropy. It is proposed that Gald�3s�2s view of marginal social groups was much more open-minded, shrewd and liberal than the often inflexible pronouncements made by contemporary professional voices.
