Abstract

This work investigates the presence and circulation of fictional prose at the nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro. Its basis are two feminine magazines, Correio das Modas (1839- 1840) and Novo Correio de Modas (1852-1854), edited by Eduardo and Henrique Laemmert. We reconstituted the conditions of existence of these two journals, placing them within Laemmerts' publishing action, taking into consideration their production and circulation networks, and evaluating how they were related to other publications of that time. We analyzed sections dedicated to fictional prose, in which the intention of guiding the readers' behavior was proved especially evident, and where we observed the values they helped to spread. We identified the narratives these magazines disseminated, presented their origin, distinguished the national narratives from the foreign ones, and compared the translations to the original texts, highlighting changes, cuts, and additions. At last, we observed on these two journals a dialogue between foreign literature and national literature due to sharing a common theme in narratives, which were centered on moral issues (AU)
