Torn Lace
Emilia Pardo Bazán
1897
Introduction
Emilia Pardo Bazán's short story Torn Lace
was first published in 1897 in the paper El Liberal. This brief, framed narrative is an example of Pardo Bazán's early fictional work. The short story explores the themes of feminism, marriage, and epiphany. These are topics she continued to visit throughout her career, particularly in many of her short stories, essays, and novels. Torn Lace
reflects the time period by exploring the limitations and obligations placed on women by nineteenth-century upper-class Spanish society. Originally published in Spanish under the title El encaje roto,
the story is available in an English translation by María Cristina Urruela in the collection Torn Lace and Other Stories, published by the Modern Language Association of America in 1996.

They also sent her to school in Madrid. As an only child, Pardo Bazán was indulged by her father, who allowed her to study academic subjects that were typically not open to girls. He did, however, prohibit the works of the French romantics.
When she was fifteen, her parents arranged her marriage to Don Jose Quiroga y Perez. He was a law student at the time, and Pardo Bazán studied his material with him. They traveled for a few years to escape political and social unrest at home, eventually returning to Spain in 1874 where she had her first child at the age of twenty-five. The couple had three children before they separated. Most critics, including Joyce Tolliver in the Introduction
to Torn Lace and Other Stories, have agreed that the controversy surrounding her
