Gonçalves de Magalhães e o sacerdócio moral do poeta romântico em tempos de guerra civil

Abstract

This article analyses the emergence of Brazilian Romanticism, taking into account its relationship with the Regency rebellions. Prioritizing Gonçalves de Magalhães´s production from 1832 to 1838, it highlights the aspect of the Christianized moral crusade and its relationship to the self-understanding of the poet´s mission. It also discusses the temporality inherent in the reflection about the nation prepared by the romantic leader, highlighting the presence of the concept of social palingenesis in the intellectual Brazilian environment from the first half of XIX century.
