This thesis has the main objective to investigate the presence of the English writers on the works of the Brazilian writers of the XIX century. The English novelists who were important at that time were Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding. They contributed to the rising and consolidation of the novel as a literary genre. In Brasil, the novel developed itself with a greater freedom and attracted the public reader. The new public started to read the novels which re-created the cities, the streets and the lives of the people who were emerging from a social class called: bourgeoisie. The new genre which appears in England increased business, with the proliferation of magazines and newspapers of popular and literary topics. The Brazilian writers such as José de Alencar and Machado de Assis were influenced by these English writers; however, this influence was not only reflected on the novels of those writers, but also on business, on culture and on the social life in Brazil. Some narratives, written by José de Alencar, show in a subtle way, the British influence, their habits and customs over the economic, political and cultural life of Brazil of the XIX century. Some other examples of this presence are reveled on the works of Machado de Assis through quotations, references and allusions. Machado de Assis in his novels does some references to English writers either from the XVI and XVIII century or from the XIX century, such as Shakespeare, Swift, Fielding, Sterne, Lamb and Dickens, among other English writers.

A fissão no paradigma distópico: 1984 e Verde vagomundo
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-10-11) COSTA, Alline Araújo; SARMENTO-PANTOJA, Tânia Maria Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3707451019100958
The dissertation analyzes, in the first instance, the catastrophic and dramatic context identified in the narratives, the representative forms of the appeals to the historical contexts that these have manifested, since it had been realized that such historical episodes are fundamental for the observation of the corpus. This perception makes us consider the tense and oppressive climate present in societies as important points for the proposed research, and that the narratives converge on the same principles of state of exception. In this way, the mentioned literary productions separated for analysis are Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), of George Orwell, acclimated in London and Verde Vagomundo, of Benedicto Monteiro, set in Alenquer. The works keep the memory of remarkable episodes in the history of the world, such as World War II and the Cold War, and closer to the national reality of Brazil, with the Military Dictatorship of 64. In this way, Miguel, the devil-goddess, is presented as resistant to any kind of authoritarian system, in addition, to the dictatorial impositions that reached his quiet city surrounded by Amazonian rivers and forests, it is then realized that the memories contribute crucially to the stance of resistance adopted by the protagonists. Winston, on the other hand, has constant memories and sensations of a different London of the one that is experiencing. Accompanying this small panorama of works, we will see in this text the state of exception as a dystopian structure of the narrative, a social condition that presses the characters to silence themselves before repression and their unconformity. Thus, it is necessary to say, since then, that the analysis is comparative in the scope of childhood and the production of resistance from the memories of the two characters, within their particularities. For that reason, we will cover some topics that we consider pertinent to the research, such themes are present in the motto of approach proposed by Walter Benjamin; Giorgio Agamben; Michel Foucault; Aleda Assmann; Roberto Esposito; Alfredo Bosi, among others. Topics such as: Memory; Docilização; Silencing; Killable Man.
