She plans, in a new edition, to include the correspondence as an appendix (letter from the author, December 26, 1973). Pardo Bazán considered Fortunata y Jacinta «entre las obras más hermosas y profundas que a Galdós se deben: Ángel Guerra» (1891) as reprinted in Obras Completas (Madrid n.d.), VI, 165.

According to Berkowitz, Galdós' relationship with 'Fortunata' provided him with much material: Pérez Galdós, 105.

Pío Baroja reports this as a matter of common knowledge among Madrid intellectuals, and adds details from direct knowledge: «Final del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX», Desde la última vuelta al mundo (Madrid, 1951), 208-15.
