María es la única novela del escritor colombiano Jorge Isaacs que se desarrolla en la exhuberancia del Valle del Cauca y que narra el amor entre María y su primo Efraín. Esta novela se considera como la obra más importante del romanticismo hispanoamericano y de los inicios de la novela sentimenal modernista. Jorge Isaacs describe el esplendor de la naturaleza como escenario de los acontecimientos y nos esboza hechos de la convivencia de los esclavos, de los mestizos y del hombre blanco, en las grandes haciendas de mediados del siglo XIX.
