Esses textos abordam a história da Inglaterra no século IX do período denominado Era Viking em diferentes perspectivas. Ficção e história entram em confronto, a fim de representar momentos significativos da época relatada. O artigo objetiva, dessa forma, observar como o real histórico é apresentado nos textos de diferentes épocas, com o fim de compreender as relações de poder entre anglo-saxões e escandinavos pelas óticas do medievo e de sua recepção no mundo contemporâneo. São discutidos neste artigo o contexto de produção dos textos e a contextualização histórica da época representada, para então, promover uma breve leitura de trechos com base em teóricos que procuram conceituar o gênero literário ficção-histórica.Editora Universitaria da UFCG2023-09-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.editora.ufcg.edu.br/index.php/RLR/article/view/1182Revista Letras Raras; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2020): Narrativas memoriais e pós-memoriais; Port. 228-251 / Eng. 228-251Revista Letras Raras; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2020): Narrativas memoriais e pós-memoriais; Port. 228-251 / Eng. 228-251Revista Letras Raras; Vol. 9 No 2 (2020): Narrativas memoriais e pós-memoriais; Port. 228-251 / Eng. 228-251Revista Letras Raras; v. 9 n. 2 (2020): Narrativas memoriais e pós-memoriais; Port. 228-251 / Eng. 228-2512317-2347reponame:Revista Letras Rarasinstname:Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG)instacron:UFCGporhttps://revistas.editora.ufcg.edu.br/index.php/RLR/article/view/1182/1034https://revistas.editora.ufcg.edu.br/index.php/RLR/article/view/1182/1035© 2023 Revista Letras Rarashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSoares, Isabelle Maria Silva, Edson Santos 2024-01-05T00:10:04Zoai:ojs2.revistas.editora.ufcg.edu.br:article/1182Revistahttps://revistas.editora.ufcg.edu.br/index.php/RLRPUBhttps://revistas.editora.ufcg.edu.br/index.php/RLR/oai||letrasrarasufcg@gmail.com2317-23472317-2347opendoar:2024-01-05T00:10:04Revista Letras Raras - Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG)false
