Resumo: This article aims to analyze Lady Maria Callcott’s unfinished manuscript intitled Life of Dom Pedro and its representation of the violence suffered by Empress Maria Leopoldina in the palace. By comparing Journal of a Voyage to Brazil, published in 1824 by the same author, I argue that the Graham’s travel narrative in 1824 represents Dom Pedro as a politician and statist, while her unfinished manuscript, posthumously published, reveals the emperor’s cruelty, possessiveness and perversity through her description of his marriage with empress Leopoldina, who became a close friend of Lady Callcott’s. Disputing Regina Akel’s argument, in which she contends that the traveler’s memoir of Dom Pedro is a means of self-promotion, and comparing the 1834-1835 narrative to biographies of Dom Pedro I and Maria Leopoldina, I conclude that Callcott’s manuscript is a historical document that denounces the emperor’s ill treatment of his Austrian wife.

Comparando o manuscrito com o Journal of a Voyage to Brazil, publicado pela mesma autora em 1824, argumenta-se que o diário de 1824 representa Dom Pedro como um político e estadista, enquanto seu esboço biográfico, publicado postumamente, revela a crueldade, possessividade e perversidade de Dom Pedro a partir da descrição minuciosa de seu casamento com dona Leopoldina, que se tornou amiga de Callcott. Disputando o argumento da biógrafa de Callcott, Regina Akel, de que o retrato construído pela viajante seria uma forma de autopromoção e, comparando o relato de 1834-1835 com as respectivas biografias sobre Dom Pedro I e Maria Leopoldina, conclui-se que o manuscrito sobre o imperador é um documento histórico que denuncia os maus tratos vivenciados pela austríaca.  UFSC2021-06-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7912610.5007/2175-8026.2021.e79126Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 74 No. 2 (2021): Life WritingIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 74 n. 2 (2021): Escritas de Vida2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/79126/46612Copyright (c) 2021 Julia Braga Neveshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBraga Neves, Julia2021-06-09T17:52:26Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/79126Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2021-06-09T17:52:26Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
