Emilia Pardo Bazán es considerada una de las autoras más importantes del siglo XIX. De su pluma surgieron grandes obras como Los pazos de Ulloa y La madre naturaleza, pero fue con Insolación con la que escandalizó a la sociedad del momento. Esta obra narra la apasionada historia de amor entre Diego Pacheco --un donjuán--, y Asís Taboada, marquesa de Andrade --viuda, atractiva y respetable--, que se fragua durante las fiestas madrileñas de San Isidro. Al conocer a Pacheco, Asís se da cuenta de que, para poder recuperar su vida, antes debe atender a sus necesidades, huyendo del decoro y las exigencias sociales. Un canto a la sensualidad y la libertad de las mujeres, en una novela soberbia, fresca y amena, que no deja indiferente.

The Countess Emilia Pardo Bazan introduced the French naturalistic movement to Spain with The Burning Question (1881). While she recognized the excesses of naturalism in its exclusive concentration on the sordid aspects of life, she saw in it possibilities for directing the Spanish novel to social and political issues. The Son of the Bondwoman (Los Pasos de Ulloa, 1886), which deals with the degeneration of an aristocratic family, is naturalistic in subject and in its deterministic conclusion.
