Abstract

This paper advances an aesthetic approach of brazilian romanticism. We have been demonstrating that the sublime is a fundamental component not only in the establishment of European romantic movements but also in the development of its manifestation in Brazil. With that in mind, this essay aims at analyzing Gonçalves Dias’ Indianism, with the intention to demonstrate that the poet exposed a more obscure facet of Brazilian Indianism, especially if compared to the work of José de Alencar, and, in order to do so, employed a wide range of key elements of the aesthetics of the sublime.
