Abstract

The daily sheet Jornal do Pará, a periodical active in Belém, there was space for numerous political, news and literary publications, in addition to maintaining dialogue with journals from other provinces of the country, with the purpose of sharing sliced fictional narratives — the famous way to publish prose fiction at the nineteenth century. Given the range of texts published in Pará’s newspaper, and the favorable condition for national authors to disclose their productions, this work aims to recover the works of Brazilian authors that circulated in the journal while it was circulating, emphasizing the way these authors are represented in the Brazilian Literary History, in addition to analyze the theme of these narratives, considering the historical and cultural space in which they were produced. Thus, we intend to emphasize the importance of the literature inside the newspapers in the nineteenth century, as this kind of work allows us to contribute to the record of the history of Brazilian literature.
