{"title":"Characterization in the Stories of Monteiro Lobato","authors":"T. Brown","doi":"10.1353/RMR.1970.0016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/RMR.1970.0016","url":null,"abstract":"Jose Bento Monteiro Lobato was born in 1882 in Taubat6, in the Paralba valley in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and died in 1948 in the city of Sao Paulo. His career was active and varied: law graduate, public prosecutor in small-town Areias, planter, writer, publisher, director of the Sao Paulo literary magazine Revista do Brasil, campaigner for public health, commercial attache in New York, and organizer and promoter of a campaign for the development of iron and oil industries in Brazil. He won fame as a writer of fiction with four books of short stories: Urupes (1918), Cidades mortas (1919), Negrinha (1920), and 0 macaco que se fgz homen (1923).' He wrote a few later stories and one novel,2 but the bulk of his serious fiction for adults (he became Brazil's outstanding writer of books for children) is contained in these volumes. The short story was Lobato's chosen vehicle and Kipling and Maupassant his models.3 He became known for the realistic-regionalistic depiction of scenes and characters from the small-town and rural Sao Paulo that he had known during his years in Areias, and on the plantation that he owned and operated before moving to the city of Sao Paulo in 1917. This study will give illustrations of Lobato's techniques of characterization in his short stories. He is not always primarily interested in depicting character; his personages may be subordinated to plot, setting, or theme. Principal and secondary characters alike may be types or caricatures as well as fully-drawn individuals. Lobato fixes their personalities in various ways: through direct description or description by a character-narrator or other characters, or by depiction in a significant act. Lobato combines exterior description with characterization by recording","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127737430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Marino and Italian Baroque","authors":"H. Priest","doi":"10.1353/rmr.1971.0004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/rmr.1971.0004","url":null,"abstract":"Together with a phenomenal revival of enthusiasm for Baroque art in recent decades has come a rediscovery of literary movements and writers of that age who for several centuries were scarcely noticed, or if noticed, were held up to ridicule. One of the most atrociously maligned of those authors was the Italian poet Marino. In his own time he was regarded by many as the poet laureate of Europe; and many of the poets of his and the succeeding generation form the school of \"Marinismo.\" In Italian literature Marinismo is synonymous with Baroque; consequently, I shall focus my discussion on the chief exemplar, Marino, and his place in the movement. Marino's major work, the Adone (Adonis in English), was published in Paris in 1623, the same year as the First Folio of Shakespeare; and the appearance of Adone was heralded throughout Europe as an occasion of major importance. The poem was generally received with great enthusiasm and for half a century was esteemed one of the most brilliant achievements of the era. Such enthusiasm on the part of contemporaries, even if it does not now seem entirely justified, compels us, as students of the period, to take serious cognizance of the work. One point is immediately evident: Marino's poem was of and for the aristocracy, an aspect which reveals a kinship with the architecture and much of the painting, sculpture, and music of the movement. Marino spent his adult years in court circles in Naples, Rome, Turin, and Paris; he admired the external brillance that those courts had attained; and his poem reflects their visible image and their values to a considerable degree, as we shall see. The body of Marino's poetry includes, in addition to Adone, several hundred lyrics, amorous, religious, and eulogistic; a large collection of poems on artists and works of art (La Galleria); a fine group of mythological tales (La Sampogna); and a short religious epic, La Strage degr Innocenti (The Slaughter of the Innocents). This last work brought Baroque intricacy and flair to the already popular epics on Biblical themes. Crashaw's translation of the first canto, entitled Sospetto d' Herode, is, incidentally, more Marinistic than the original. The first aspect of Marinismo to be examined should be its style, which was its trademark. The writers and critics of the age characterized their writing with the terms ingegno and acutezza, signifying \"wit,\" \"ingenuity,\" or \"the genius of creativity.\" Remember that the writers and artists of the early seventeenth century were awed by the masters of the Renaissance and","PeriodicalId":344945,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114545447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
