La Corza Blanca y La Cruz del Diablo son narraciones breves, pertenecientes al grupo de ‘Las Leyendas’ de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870) impregnadas de romanticismo, misterio y gusto por lo medieval, tan de moda en la época. La protagonista de La Corza Blanca es una bellísima joven con caprichos extravagantes y conducta singular, traída a España desde un país lejano, que quizá posee poderes mágicos... La Cruz del Diablo puede considerarse una novela gótica, destinada a producir en el lector una impresión de terror. El protagonista es un señor feudal de extremada maldad, cuyos actos son de naturaleza diabólica. Bécquer combina perfectamente la invención novelesca con la atmósfera del cuento popular.
