Geography of Brazil

	Literature of Brazil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the 20th century Brazilian literature shifted, gradually and unevenly, from the strict use of Portuguese to the use of Brazilian Portuguese.
		Literature was often produced by members of temporary or semi-permanent academies and most of the content was in the pastoral genre.
		The key features of the literature of the new-born country are exaggerated affect, nationalism, celebration of nature and the initial introduction of colloquial language.

		The line of the chroniclers which is one of the boasts of Portuguese literature began with Fernão Lopes, who compiled the chronicles of the reigns of Kings Pedro, Fernando, and John I.

		Brazil has yet to produce drama, but in the romance she has acknowledged masters in José de Alencar whose "Guarany" and "Iraçema" are standard books, and in the psychologist, Machado de Assis.
		Brazil has now emancipated herself from mere imitation of foreign models and her novelists and critics of to-day show an originality and strength which promises much for the future of a literature still in its youth.
