This paper examines Joaquín Henrich y Girona¿s Ensayo sobre la literatura inglesa (1881), the fi rst complete history of English literature written in Spanish. Published at a time when the knowledge and interest in English writers was increasing in Spain, Henrich¿s work is part of the process of formation of a new and wider English canon that was taking place in the last decades of the nineteenth century.
