Overview
Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera, autora decimonónica peruana, produjo novelas populares como Blanca Sol y Las consecuencias. Estos textos tradicionalmente han sido analizados desde la perspectiva de sus tropos naturalistas y su recepción polémica. Sin embargo, este ensayo demuestra que las novelas también emplean temas financieros, como las apuestas en juegos de cartas, para hacer preguntas sociales relacionadas con juegos amorosos, con las desigualdades de género en las relaciones amorosas y el trabajo, y con la economía peruana. La crítica no ha explorado lo suficiente los juegos de cartas y de amor en estas novelas y cómo crean paralelos con las desigualdades económicas y sociales dentro de un ambiente naturalista.
Nineteenth-century Peruvian author Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera produced widely-read novels such as Blanca Sol and Las consecuencias. These texts have traditionally been analyzed in conjunction with her polemical reception by contemporaries and their naturalist depictions. However, this paper demonstrates that the novels also employ financial topics, such as gambling, to raise larger social questions surrounding games of love, gender inequalities in relationships and the workforce, and the Peruvian economy. Cabello de Carbonera’s representation of gambling and love games in parallel to social and economic inequalities has not been sufficiently explored by critics and connects directly to other naturalist tropes in her fiction.
