Resumo: |
This research deals with the ideas of the critic Antônio Joaquim de Macedo Soares (1838 - 1905). His critical work is known for its rigor and its importance in reflecting the national character of Brazilian literature of the mid-19th century. The object of analysis were the following: Macedo Soares' comparative inclination; his critical thinking about the feeling of nature and the relationship between originality and nationality; and similarities between his critical thinking and that of Machado de Assis (1839 - 1908). These similarities are related to: conception of art as a transfiguration of reality; refusal to make a picturesque literature that was merely descriptive, and his appreciation for the historical element. Macedo Soares produced essays capable of bringing a clearer understanding of the critical romantic movement. Although the author is widely quoted in academic papers, there has not been yet a more accurate study of his critical essays. These essays are still dispersed in periodicals of that time or were partially released in recent, and we rescued them, according to Castello’s (1963) and Cairo’s (2012) ideas. In addition, we conducted a bibliographic search on the author and his work to identify its historical-literary context, having also carried out a contrasting analysis of the author's essays |
