Abstract

My purpose is to give continuity to an argument previously suggested by some readers of Blest Gana. The general idea is associated with the need of a study capable of establishing a link between all of the renowned books, as a way of integrating them in the work as a whole in an organic way and with a general vision. In this case, I take the seven novels which the author published between 1860 and 1864 to show some of the relationships that can be established between them.
