ResumoMy treatment of Gómez de Avellaneda is based on the principle that Seville — described in detail in her account of her travels with her cousin, Eloísa — marks a turning point in her literary career between 1838 and 1840: it was then that she became known as a poet through newspaper reports; that she wrote her final novel, Sab; and that her play, Leoncia — though lacking maturity as her first attempt in this genre — was performed successfully. ‘Letters to Cepeda’, about her first and passionate love, are today the most interesting documents of this period from both the autobiographical and metaliterary points of view. In fact, all the works of this period can be read as autobiographical dramas which anticipate her peculiarly female destiny.
