| Summary | "Poor Folk in Spain" by Jan Gordon and Cora Gordon is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This book explores the authors' journey to Spain as they seek to escape the remnants of war-torn England and reconnect with their artistic selves. Their experiences highlight cultural interactions and the essence of the Spanish people, underscored by their own reflections on identity and art. The opening of the work sets the stage for the journey, beginning with the authors' reflections on their life in London before their departure. They discuss the allure of Spain, drawing upon previous experiences in Paris, where they encountered the Spanish culture through music and art. As they prepare for their journey, they express a desire to find solace and inspiration in the simplicity and beauty of Spanish life. Additionally, the first chapter illustrates their yearning for a vibrant atmosphere, contrasting it with the dreariness of London, ultimately revealing their motivations for embarking on this artistic pilgrimage.
