    Estudo comparado de The Lamplighter (1854), da escritora norteamericana Maria Susanna Cummins, e La hija del mar (1859), da escritora galega Rosalía de Castro, que pon en cuestión a recepción tópica da chamada literatura sentimental. Establécense paralelismos tanto entre as autoras como entre as protagonistas das novelas, e préstase especial atención aos condicionantes de xénero en relación á clase social, as posibilidades profesio-nais das mulleres do seu tempo e como se conceptúa a idea do fogar en relación á nación.

    The present article is a comparative study of The Lamplighter (1854), by the North American author Maria Susanna Cummins, and La hija del mar (1859) by the Gali-cian author Rosalía de Castro, which questions the reception of the so-called sentimental literature. Parallels are established not only between the authors, but also between the pro-tagonists of the novels, and special attention is paid to gender conditions related to social class, professional possibilities for the women of their time and for the way in which the idea of the home is conceptualized in relation to that of the nation.
