Jose de Alencar's prose-poem Iracema, first published in 1865, is a
classic of Brazilian literature--perhaps the most widely-known
piece of fiction within Brazil, and the most widely-read of
Alencar;s many works. Set in the sixteenth century, it is an
extremely romantic portrayal of a doomed live between a Portuguese
soldier and an Indian maiden. Iracema reflects the gingerly way
that mid-nineteenth century Brazil dealt with race mixture and
multicultural experience. Precisely because of its
nineteenth-century romanticism, Iracema strongly contributed to a
Brazilian sense of nationhood--contemporary Brazilian writers and
literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.
