Abstract

The realist fictions of the Brazilian author Machado de Assis often explored religious themes through the presentation of keenly significant, minute details of everyday scenes and conversations. By contrast, the early novels of his contemporary Eça de Queirós demonstrate a preference for plotting broad dramatic climaxes. Machado and Eça coincide in exposing the unacknowledged secularization of Catholic consciences in Portugal and Brazil.
