Critics have recurrently pointed out the importance of confessional aspects and the feminine and feminist nature of Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s work. However in this paper the attention will be focused in aspects that reveal a sort of bookish inspiration among her novels and tales. These aspects highlight the consciousness and notable skills of this Hispano-Cuban writer who was able to turn motifs and themes from different sources into fictions that are very much her own. Such fictions blend personal experiences, readings and an observation of her surroundings into a creative processes that, without doubt, left proof of her belonging to the autonomous field of literary imagination.
