Una de las novelas menos conocidas de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Doloresrepresenta un hito en la producción narrativa de la autora. Con el pretexto de remitirnos a un momento muy anterior al suyo, para contarnos la historia verdadera, o cuando menos verosímil, de una parienta suya, la Avellaneda la emprende contra costumbres y tradiciones arraigadas en la sociedad española más conservadora, y en particular contra la institución de los matrimonios arreglados por los padres sin el consentimiento de los hijos, e incluso contra el parecer de estos. Tampoco quedan bien parados los prejuicios de clase o condición social, o el antisemitismo. La novela constituye asimismo, una suerte de crónica de familia mediante la cual la autora se inserta en la historia que nos cuenta, e igualmente en la Historia que corresponde a la de España y su conformación nacional. One of the lesser-known novels of Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Dolores, represents a milestone in her narrative production. Wanting to transport us to a time quite antecedent to hers in order to relate the true story, or at least the most credible, of one of her relatives, the author embarks on a narrative that conflicts with the deep-seated customs and traditions of conservative Spanish society, and particularly with the institution of pre-arranged marriages between families without the bride and groom’s consent or even against their wishes. Nor are class prejudices of anti-Semitism or social condition shown in a very good light. The novel constitutes as well, a sort of family chronicle in which the author inserts herself into the story she is telling as well as the history of Spain and its early national development.
