It is aimed to rediscuss the historical-chronological and cultural marks of the Brazilian’s Literature formation. These marks were delineated between the 1830’s and 1880’s and were systematized in the following decades, when their fundamental bases were stablished, determining a canon of works and authors according to literary movements or tendencies in an evolutive sequence. The boundaries among these movements started to be objected from the 1960’s on, especially with the publication of Antonio Candido’s Formação da literatura brasileira in 1959. In this book, that take as a basis the previous historical-critical heritage, incorporating many of its elements, the author rethinks the historical and cultural marks concerned to the birth of Brazilian literature and proposes, as its decisive moments, the 18th century Arcadism and 19th century Romanticism according to the establishment of a literary system. Six decades later, it is proposed a suggestion of redefining the historical limits of the Brazilian literary tendencies, incorporating results of perspicacious previous researches, principally Antonio Candido’s ones.
