Abstract

The theme of this project is the historical novel. In this type of narrative, fiction is marked by the art of presenting realistic historical settings and facts which were previously defined by the formality of historians' texts. The historical novel equally provides a forum for presenting women's literature which can be perceived as a different structure and theme from the already known "masculine discourse". Specifically, this work seeks to define how the female history and world are presented through female author and male author, as represented here by Ana Miranda in Amrik (1997) and Luis Antonio de Assis Brasil in Videiras de Cristal (1990).
