Romantic writer of Brazilian literature
Brazilian literature has produced three generations of romantic writers. The first generation included Gonsalves de Magarias and Antonio Gonsalves Diaz (1823 ~ 1864) who were awarded the title of "national poets". In prose, Joaquim Manuel Demarcay (1820 ~ 1882) and jose martin de alencar (1829 ~1877); In drama, Louis Carlos Martins Pena (18 15 ~ 1848) is the main representative. The second generation writers were influenced by Byron, but their works were narrow in theme and depressed, eroded by "worrying about the world" and "the disease of the century", and most of them ended in tragedy. Its representatives are Manuel Antonio á lvarez de Acevedo (183 1 ~ 1852) and Kajimiro de Abreu (1839 ~ 1860). The third generation writers have begun to transition to realism. They try to break through the shackles of subjectivism and sentimentalism and devote themselves to real life, so that their works have greater social significance. The representative figure is Antonio Frederic de Castro Alves (1847 ~ 187 1), a "Shan Ying" poet. His poems lashed out at the evils of feudal monarchy and slavery and won the title of "slave singer". The novelist Alfredo de Escara Gorenel Taunai (1843 ~ 1899) is famous for his pen name "Viscount Taunai". He is famous for "Laguna Retreat" (187 1) describing the battle of Mato Grosso. The theme of his works is not as narrow as that of ordinary regional writers, but is praised by the world for its distinctive Brazilian characteristics. The most accomplished romantic novelist in Brazil should be José de alencar, whose main work is Guaraní People (1857), a novel that truly reflects the life of Indians. In addition, Joaquim da Silva Bernardo Gimaranges (1825 ~ 1884) is also an important writer.
