Description
- Abstract:
- The essay discusses the relationship between nature and society in the work of José de Alencar. Reaffirming the unity among the "three Alencares" postulated by Antonio Candido in ‘Formação da Literatura Brasileira’, the essay argues that Alencar's representation of nature, both in Indianist and urban novels, underscores profound contradictions in Brazilian society.
