| Abstract | |
This study proposes an analysis of the works of the two historians, the Portuguese Alexandre Herculano and the Brazilian Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen, seeking to understand the relationship between history and fiction in literary writings of the nineteenth century and how these two sources of knowledge were related in the context of the Portuguese Romanticism. By using the History as the thematic basis for their narratives, these authors wrote texts that crossed the boundaries of an objective historical truth in the same time they were creating fictional universes that could no longer be considered as essentially imaginative. Considering the specific characteristics of the works of each author, the goal is to investigate the relationship between these writers themselves and their importance in the development and dissemination of historical and literary knowledge in the nineteenth century (AU) | |
