Through a rigorous study that combines the history of emotions with literary criticism, the book unveils how the author interprets the country in an artistic and personal key, blending descriptions of monuments and landscapes with her own reactions and introspections. The reader will find a valuable intellectual, sensory, and emotional approach to a key figure of American art, complemented by the complete translation of the original manuscript.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores the \u003cem\u003eSpain 1920\u003c\/em\u003e manuscript, where Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney described her journey from Paris to the south of Spain, visiting Irún, Madrid, Cordoba, Seville, Malaga, and Granada. Beyond a simple travelogue, the work analyzes how the artist reveals her identity through her reactions and interpretations, using the diary as a process of introspection. The study is supported by critical guidelines from emotionology (Stearns), the history of emotions (Rosenwein and Cristiani), and the role of emotions in writing (Knaller). It reveals a journey where actions and feelings mingle with ideas about art and creation, highlighting the elements of inspiration and emotion that Whitney found in Spain and that would accompany her for the rest of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of emotions and emotionology applied to travel literature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the personal diary as a genre of introspection and identity construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural and artistic immersion of a cosmopolitan traveler in early 20th-century Spain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between art, creation, inspiration, and sensory experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStudy of the figure of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney as an artist and patron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers and students of travel literature, cultural history, gender studies, and art history.
