FROM EUROPEAN MODERNITY TO PAN-AMERICAN NATIONA...

This book analyses the relationships between the writers Edgar Allan Poe  Charles Baudelaire
and Machado de Assis  showing their impact on representations of literary modernity and
literary national identity in the Americas. The central argument is that Machado de Assis
parodied Baudelaire by criticizing the French influence on Brazilian literature of his time  as
well as emulating Poe by searching for a Pan-American identity in the representation of the
urban scene  nationalism  the female figure and the world of work. Pan-Americanism emerges from
both Poe's and Machado de Assis's critical reflections on literary national identity in
non-hegemonic contexts as a way of deconstructing the idea of literary modernity.
