Sab and Autobiography (Classicos/Clasicos)
( Eleven years before Uncle Tom's Cabin fanned the fires ...)
Eleven years before Uncle Tom's Cabin fanned the fires of abolition in North America, an aristocratic Cuban woman told an impassioned story of the fatal love of a mulatto slave for his white owner's daughter. So controversial was Sab's theme of miscegenation and its parallel between the powerlessness and enslavement of blacks and the economic and matrimonial subservience of women that the book was not published in Cuba until 1914, seventy-three years after its original 1841 publication in Spain. Also included in the volume is Avellaneda's Autobiography (1839), whose portrait of an intelligent, flamboyant woman struggling against the restrictions of her era amplifies the novel's exploration of the patriarchal oppression of minorities and women.

Edit ProfileCareer
After breaking an engagement with a well-to-do provincial, she moved to Cádiz, Spain, where she opened a literary salon and contributed to periodicals under the pseudonym of La Peregrina (The Wanderer). In 1840 she moved to Madrid and soon after published her first collection of verse, Poesías (1841), which won her the esteem of her contemporaries. In Havana she published the successful magazine Album Cubano de lo Bueno y lo Bello ("Cuban Album of the Good and the Beautiful"). After her husband's death she returned to Spain, settling in Madrid, where she died on Feb. 1, 1873. In addition to her Cuban novel, Sab (1841), and her Biblical play, Baltasar, she is most frequently remembered for her love poems, which faithfully mirrored the literary taste of her age. Her collected works, Obras Completas, were published in 1869-1871.
