Syllabus

This course approaches Brazilian literature from a historical-literary perspective. This means that, from the long history of Brazilian literature, it focuses on a shorter or longer period to present that literature. In each annual edition of the course, the teacher will justify the choice made, whether it falls on its colonial origins, the 19th century, or the 20th and 21st centuries.
