Abstract

Auerbach, in his most famous work, Mimesis, establishes that the great contribution of the Realistic school of the nineteenth-century was to bring voice to the proletariat in its novels, by representing its life and sufferings in a serious way. Eça de Queirós, as well as Machado de Assis, did not make that in his novels. It would be the Portuguese writer a realist “failed”? Our analysis of the novel O crime do padre Amaro shows quite the contrary that in this work Eça developed resources and other literary strategies other than direct protagonism of the poor in order to represent and to criticize more efficiently (in literary and social terms) the situation of the proletariat in Portugal.
