AB In the eighteenth and nineteeth centuries, a tendency emerged among English-speaking authors to describe Spain from a romantic point of view, which derived in Spanish Orientalism. The aim of this B. A. Thesis is to demonstrate that, in the books Spanish Raggle-Taggle and Don Gypsy, Walter Starkie (a Hispanist born in Dublin, 1894-1976) is a chronicler instead of an Orientalist. To do this, I will first contextualize this travel literature to see if Starkie can fit or not into one of the three types of Orientalism I propose, and then delve into knowing the author himself to end with the analysis of the two works. As a result, we can conclude that, in Spanish Raggle-Taggle and Don Gypsy, there are more features of a chronicler than of an orientalist writer.
