| Abstract | |
This thesis discusses the Brazilian literature¿s constitution in the nineteenth century in the context of international circulation of printed matter. It aims to identify the tensions between national and foreign elements, considering José de Alencar¿s works as a paradigmatic case. At first, we verified the offer of Brazilian and foreign works to the public in Rio de Janeiro between 1856 and 1876, and the participation of Alencar¿s novels in this book market. We found in it an expressive presence of imported novels and, in sequence, we examined the action of Brazilian writers, as Salvador de Mendonça, in translating foreign novels. Then, we analysed, for the same period, the discussion of men of letters, in order to present their ideas about a national literature definition, emphasizing the confrontation established by them with the foreign literature. At last, we studied the diffusion of Brazilian literature in Europe, noticing its reception by the international critic, as well the circulation of Alencar¿s novels abroad, considering the period between 1850 and 1908. This thesis presents and analyses the collective effort, in with took part national and foreign people, to define the national literature and to insert it in the called world republic of letters (AU) | |
