Abstract

The aim of the following article is to present several American authors, such as Washington Irving, who have been interested in Spanish romantic literature. There is a growing interest throughout the 19th century for European literatures, being considered exotic and full of contrasts. Culture, history and classical works such as Don Quixote are taken into account and revalued. It is intended to claim, in this way, the figure of the Hispanists for their contribution to spreading a positive image of Spain.
