The main objective of this thesis is to analyse the
historical short stories in Lendas e Narrativas, so as to
demonstrate, from both historical and fictional points of
view, Herculanos attempt to change the Portuguese medieval
period into a cultural inheritance, following the romantic
artistic project. The second objective is to capture the
romantic view of the author, who looked back to medieval
times, in order to build a Portuguese cultural identity.
The investigation is divided into six chapters, each one
emphasizing the function that historical discourse
represents in Herculanos fiction. In the light of
contemporary theories, the seven narratives are analysed
through the discussion of the plots (intrigues), to detect
the peculiarities of each one. The emphasis is on the
dialogue established between the discourses of Literature
and History, within the texts, at the moment of creation.
In broad terms, the research concludes that in Lendas e
Narrativas the author intended to keep the memory of intense
experiences, involving both the Iberian traditions and the
transformation of these traditions, which assume the role
of producer of new elements. This experience constructs the
identity of the basic characteristics of nineteenth century
Portuguese literature and even some characteristics of
literature in the following century.
Reflecting on the question of literary memory in Lendas e
Narrativas thus demands the recognition that literary
production is a system of dialogues, exchanges and
appropriations that are activated by a play of interactive
forces. The diversity of characters in the book makes it
an intricate weave of historical fiction in the tradition
of Walter Scott. The present study intends to contribute to
the recognition of this essential work in Portuguese
Romanticism and, perhaps ambitiously, to open up
perspectives for new research. This continuous movement of
interpreting history, renewing its significance, and
providing it with different interpretations is a pathway to
the discovery of fascinating new readings.
