Resumo

Abstract: In this study Ana Maria Marques examines Arnaldo Gama’s Romantic historical writing, by engaging examples from his works along with the author’s own comments. She discusses how Gama attains a realistic diegetic universe through the inclusion of elements of local color, insistent descriptions, the reconstruction of social and cultural environments, real historical figures and events within the invented plot, yet with the author’s poetic license to modernize language and other necessary elements, in this re-articulation of History through fiction.
