The book provides details about the Spanish landscape and serves as an instructive text commenting on the social and political panorama of Spain during a time of crisis.
This article explores Katharine Lee Bates' travel book Spanish Highways and Byways (1900), written out of a collection of commissioned articles published in the New York Times immediately after the Spanish-American War. Her travelogue not only provides the reader with details about the Spanish architectural and natural landscape, but it also works as an instructive text to comment on the social and political panorama of Spain at a time of national crisis. Following the path initiated by Alberto Egea in Rewriting Stereotypes on Spain: Unveiling the Counter-Picturesque in Katharine Lee Bates (2019), I argue that Spanish Highways and Byways describes the creation of an emerging modern Spain, influenced by the intellectual movements that shaped Spanish politics of the fin-du-siecle. Bates' text is key to understand the Spanish-American War and its effects on the Spanish population; more importantly, it shows the author's engagement in aspects such as the education of women or workers' rights. In my discussion, I examine how Bates negotiates with her position as an American outsider in Spain and how she takes advantage of this position to build bridges between the two nations at a time of conflict.t
