Description

Brazilian Literature as World Literature is not simply an introduction to Brazilian literature but also, and most especially, a study of the connections between Brazil's literary production and that of the rest of the world, particularly European and North American literatures. The contributors focus on the most significant moments of Brazilian literature and offer comparative approaches between some of its greatest exponents and canonic authors of world literature. They also highlight the tension that has always existed in Brazilian literature between the imitation of European models and forms and a yearning for a tradition of its own, as well as the attempts to overcome this tension by proposing possible solutions such as that of aesthetic cannibalism, brought about by modernist writers.
