Abstract

This text analyzes the novel Helena, by Machado de Assis, aiming to research whether or not it is possible to study this author through a Marxist tendency and to understand the aesthetic experimentation of this novel through intertextuality and dialogue with other works. This text also takes this novel as an example to perform the disclosure of the formal and aesthetics composition of this genre and its fragmentation, compared with the epic poem, with its readily available meaning , by Georg Lukacs in his Theory of the Novel.
