Resumo: From the point of view of the fictionalisation of Science in Literature and the contribution of women to the development of Science, the article discusses how the practice of palaeontology and geological studies is represented in British historical fiction of our own times, through two female characters, who were contemporaries of Jane Austen. After a few considerations of a general nature regarding the construction of the contemporary historical novel and some observations concerning the true state of paleontological and geological studies in the first decades of the nineteenth century the article will move on to deal with the way the choice of these two areas of Earth Science fulfilled the author’s objectives.

Após algumas considerações gerais sobre a construção do romance histórico na contemporaneidade, bem como sobre a real condição dos estudos em paleontologia e geologia nas primeiras décadas do século XIX, o artigo centrar-se-á na análise do modo como a escolha destas duas áreas das Ciências da Terra, serviram os propósitos da autora.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2022-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2022.12965https://doi.org/10.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2022.12965Gaudium Sciendi; No 22 (2022); 413-432Gaudium Sciendi; n. 22 (2022); 413-4322182-760510.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2022.n22reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gaudiumsciendi/article/view/12965https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gaudiumsciendi/article/view/12965/12352Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Gabriela Gândara Terenashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTerenas, Gabriela Gândara2023-06-23T09:00:25Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/12965Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:59:43.574529Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
