description Dogs, either familiar retrievers or frightening wolfhounds, may appear as significant details in Emila Pardo Bazán’s novel The Castle of Ulloa, a novel about the northwestern spanish rural world from her naturalist period. A well-known sequence, where a young child – the marquis of Ulloa’s hidden child – walks on all fours among a pack of hounds, stands as a striking treatment of environment following Zola’s aesthetics. The « land of wolves » around the manor is a playground for interaction between animals and men, here an element of naturalist determinism. Besides, other dog or wolf figures, generating fears, are part of another dimension of this novel, based on gothic recollections and psychological exploration. Animal details thus might be revealing of the diversity of inspiration.
