Da ação folhetinesca à cena intimista: um conto romântico de Casimiro de Abreu

Abstract

This paper aims at analysing the short story named “Camila – Memórias duma viagem” (Camille – Trip Memories), by Casimiro de Abreu, in order to demonstrate that its basic narrative procedure – a textual strategie focused on the character’s inner self-establishes a critical difference between Abreu’s approach to literature and the standard newspaper serial,which the Brazilian prose from the Romanticism has usually been compared to.
