Abstract
Part of Texas's Critical Reflections on Latin America series, this volume comprises four essays, each taking a different approach to Machado de Assis's novels, and all concentrating on his most famous work, Dom Casmurro. Graham's stated intention is to "call new attention" to Machado de Assis (vii) while presenting critical essays representative of the current disagreements over interpreting his work. This compendium is primarily of interest to specialists in Machado de Assis and, to a lesser degree, to Brazilianists in general. All of the essays engage in ongoing scholarly debates regarding Machado de Assis's authorial intent. While the general question of authorial intent may be compelling to virtually any student of literature, the debates specific to Machado de Assis have a life and history of their own. The articles in this book are a continuation of those particular debates, and require some understanding of their history.
