  A translation (from the original Portuguese) of the author's study of Brazilian novelist Machado de Assis (1839-1908). It focuses on Machado's The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas . It investigates how social structure gets internalized as literary form, arguing that Machado's style reveals the embedded class divisions of 19th-century Brazil.
