2. Romantic Prose

The historical novel, usually set in the Middle Ages, did not aspire to accurately reconstruct the past but simply to present in those environments conflicts and romantic interests. Their peak shows the desire of this romantic escape. Include two novels: The youth of Henry the Sufferer Larra and The Lord of Bembibre of Enrique Gil y Carrasco.
The literary expression of manners - manners box - recreated in a superficial way life mainly middle class and depicted a series of scenes and types.
Finally, theserial was a genre which was published in separate editions of newspapers or deliveries. It told of a sentimental conflicts (full of mystery, adventure and intrigue) featuring established characters.

Its articles deal with various issues: articles of manners reflects on the cultural and social uses and values in them Larra proposed to modernization and Europeanization of the country in political reporting involves a radical critique full of pessimism that does not exclude social commitment, and in literary criticism is claimed creative freedom and defends the literature-thought relationship.
