Mário o la historia bajo el disfraz de novela

Abstract

The work tries to demonstrate that the historical novel of current importance
that is published from middle of the 19th century answers to a political interest
of diffusion of the national past. Considered in general terms the decline of the
kind genre, these novels are first of all a book of history with the appearance
of a sentimental statement destined for a public for the most part femininely
and unculturedly. One of the most explicit examples is Mário, of Silva Gaio,
whose edition has been kept without interruptions up to the current
importance.
