Journal Title: Asian Research Journal of Arts & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The overarching theme of the present paperwork lies in casting some light to the historic Brazilian character of Anita Garibaldi (1821–1849) in order to draw the public’s attention to the fact that this fictional writing has been used to corroborate the historical past. So as to achieve these goals, the romance studied was written by Lisa Sergio in 1969 and it is called I Am My Beloved: The Life of Anita Garibaldi. With a rather clear language, the author was able to present a piece of fictionalization of History, praising what has so far been recorded as the truth. In a nutshell, this novel aims at reassuring the official past, nothing is reviewed and nothing is retold, Anita keeps being seen as a heroine solely because of the love she felt for Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807 – 1882). As for the theoretical resource, the study is based on the researches conducted by Lukács (2011), Márquez Rodríguez (1996), Albuquerque and Fleck (2015) and Fleck (2017). This study seeks to pay attention to the figure of Anita Garibaldi as well as the different modalities of historical novel, especially the traditional one, and the defining features of this category of novel.
