Opis

A translation (from the original Portuguese) of the author's renowned study of Brazilian novelist Machado de Assis (1839-1908). It investigates in particular how social structure gets internalised as literary form, arguing that Machado's style replicates and reveals the deeply embedded class divisions of nineteenth-century Brazil.
