Abstract

This article aims to analyze the novel Clara dos Anjos, by Lima Barreto, in dialogue with the social-historical context of the first Brazilian Republic. The analysis seeks to bring together the critical studies of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda in Raízes do Brasil (2014), Gilberto Freyre in Casa grande e senzala (2001), Jorge Schwarz in As ideias fora do lugar (2000), Antonio Candido in Dialética da malandragem (1970) and Retrato do Brasil by Paulo Prado (2012) with its physical and social representation of the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro. Through this study, we seek to substantiate how the literature of Lima Barreto reproduces the historical dissonances, the ambivalence and social antagonisms in fiction.
