His writing, deeply influenced by literary giants, explored pressing social issues and reflected his profound connection to Spanish culture and history.

Entre sus personajes, casi nadie consigue ser lo que se propuso, incluso Neleta cuando parece que lo ha conseguido todo, lo pierde, lo pierde mientras escucha las palabras del abuelo: "Llora, perra, llora", y Neleta llora; sin embargo uno tiene la impresión de que no está ante una perdedora. Si Blasco hubiera escrito una segunda parte, posiblemente la habríamos encontrado rehecha con su vida, asumiendo su falta, pero sin haber perdido una brizna de ambición, llena de dignidad [...] Blasco nos dio la galería de personajes y situaciones más reales e intersantes de la época con ese tono universal que hacía de su tierra valenciana un mundo complejo de ambiciones, deseos incontrolados, donde las alteraciones de la naturaleza influían considerablemente en el destino de sus personajes [....]. Cuando uno se adentra en su lectura se encuentra conmovido por un mundo de sentimientos que son universales y ahí radica su grandeza.
Antes de escribir La barraca, Blasco Ibáñez había participado en mítines y altercados callejeros y había sido condenado en un consejo de guerra a cuatro años de prisión. En marzo de 1898 fue elegido diputado por Cullera en reconocimiento de sus servicios en favor de los oprimidos. La barraca es el alegato de la vida dura e injusta que los habitantes de la huerta valenciana han de soportar frente a los propietarios ociosos de la ciudad.
