Book excerpt: Incorporating recent narrative theory and original historical documents, such as the voluminous correspondence of Domingo del Monte (1804-1853), Williams offers insights into the pattern of female development through an exploration of the representation of the female slave in the five novels. In addition, she provides the first exhaustive analysis of Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda's Sab and the first detailed treatment of the intertextual echoes in these other literary texts: Juan Francisco Manzano's Autobiografia, Amnselmo Suarez y Romero's Francisco, Antonio Zambrana's El negro Francisco, Martin Morua Delgado's Sofia, and Cirilo Villaverde's Cecilia Valdes.
