Abstract

Lucía Miranda is a character identified with the formation of the region of Rio de la Plata, which will star, in the 19th, two of historical content written by Rosa Guerra and Eduarda Mansilla. The stories presented by the two authors differ in the treatment of the theme and seem to propose different ways of seeing the history and the possibilities of constructing signs of national identity. In this work, I analyze comparatively the two works and the ways in which they turn into fiction an event considered historical. At first, the paper presents some considerations about historical novel and its uses in the nineteenth century. In a second moment, I present a brief review about the myth/history of Lucía Miranda and about the life of the authors Rosa Guerra and Eduarda Mansilla. Then, a comparative analysis of the two novels is presented to establish the points of convergence and divergence between the two works.
