This research proposes to analyze the construction of the work of Alexandre Herculano as a historian, which began with the publication of several articles in the journal O Panorama and in the Revista Universal Lisbonense. In these texts, we sought to detect the initial thoughts that led to a project with greater intellectual , the História de Portugal, published in a moment of emergence of the nationalities and formation of the national consciousness . In this sense, we aimed to understand how Herculano conceived his history by analyzing his trajectory as a historian/politician in the midst of the gradual social transformations taking place in Portugal at the time. This way, we proposed to think the politician Alexandre Herculano in constant dialog with the conjuncture of the period, having as references his social action and textual intervention in the process then under way.
