O Almada, mock-epic poem written by Machado de Assis, proposes a
‘theory’ of this ‘difficult’ genre, within a literary program that would
mean the invention of a first example of mock-epic poetry in Brazilian
literature. Machado’s proposal implies that the mock-epic looses referentiality;
otherwise put, undergoes a process of anesthetization. This aesthetic autonomy,
however, would signify the universalization of a textual phenomenology of “two
famous compositions that served as models, but are not truly inimitable”. In my
article I elaborate on how Machado de Assis reads the mock-epic tradition,
Boileau’s Le Lutrin and specifically António Dinis da Cruz e Silva’s O Hissope.
