Historia Da Inteligência Brasileira 1855 - 1877 Vol 3 (Wilson Martins) I Paulo Darma1970

In this volume, Wilson Martins presents the definitive establishment of Romanticism in our culture, configuring itself as a constant of the national spirit. It is the moment of the exchange of leading figures, with the seminal name of José de Alencar (1829-1877) being replaced at the center of the scene by the equally seminal Machado de Assis (1839-1908), one being the son of a traditional family and the other, originating from a more humble stratum of the population, both builders, to some extent, of the idea we have to this day about our nationality.
