(Epistolario de las vivencias amorosas de la estancia de A...)
Epistolario de las vivencias amorosas de la estancia de Avellaneda en España. Se trata de la exposición de una «vida a la manera del romanticismo». El Diario de amor es un testimonio del ideario sentimental de su tiempo.

Sab constituye una singular aportacion a la novela antiesclavista. La autora sigue en ella los modelos tipicos de la novela romantica y mezcla reminiscencias autobiograficas y modelos literarios. Hay en ella un alegato reivindicador de la dura vida de los negros, indios y la barbarie espanola en general.

She was born at Puerto Principe (Cuba) on the 23rd of March 1814, and removed to Spain in 1836.
She obtained, however, a series of successes on the stage with Alfonso Munio (1844), a tragedy in the new romantic manner; with Saul (1849), a biblical drama indirectly suggested by Alfieri; and with Baltasar (1858), a piece which bears some resemblance to Byron's Sardanapalus. Her commerce with the world had not diminished her natural piety, and, on the death of her second husband, she found so much consolation in religion that she had thoughts of entering a convent.
The edition of her "Obras literarias" (5 vols. , 1869 - 1871), still incomplete, shows a scrupulous care for minute revision uncommon in Spanish writers; but her emendations are seldom happy.
She was interesting as a link between the classic and romantic schools of poetry, and, whatever her artistic shortcomings, she has no rivals of her own sex in Spain during the 19th century.

(Sab)
She has a grandiose tragical vision of life, a vigorous eloquence rooted in pietistic pessimism, a dramatic gift effective in isolated acts or scenes; but she is deficient in constructive power and in intellectual force, and her lyrics, though instinct with melancholy beauty, or the tenderness of resigned devotion, too often lack human passion and sympathy.
In 1846 she married a diplomatist named Pedro Sabater, became a widow within a year, and in 1853 married Colonel Domingo Verdugo.
