The book presents a close reading of specific texts, allowing an introduction to the Brazilian novel from a comparative perspective.Chapters explore the links between themes, narrative paradigms, and techniques of Brazilian, European and North American novels and the development of the Brazilian novel.Contributors reflect on both canonical and lesser-known Brazilian works: from the first novel by an Afro-Brazilian woman, Maria Firmina dos Reis’s Ursula (1859) to Machado de Assis’s Dom Casmurro (1900); and from José de Alencar’s Indianist novel, Iracema (1865), to Júlia Lopes de Almeida’s A Falência ( The Bankruptcy , 1901).
