The nineteenth century marked the first important milestone in the history of women not only because of increased awareness about their situation, which would lead to the feminist movement, but also because such gender awareness and feminist attitudes became part of the literary canon, forever changing the way the works of women writers would be written and interpreted. Believing that women’s history may offer a vantage point from which to assess and understand how a society works, this article makes women’s issues its main focus. The setting is the controversial nineteenth century, which is examined through a combined approach of close reading and an analysis of secondary sources. This article is a comparative study of two stories produced by two nineteenth century American women writers tackling the situation of the women of the time, the difficult transition from male expectations to female self-assertion, and the importance of such texts as representations of the period when they were written.

Henry James’ short story, Last of the Valerii (1874), articulates the author’s final assessment of the Anglo-American style. The marriage between the American heiress and impoverished Italian nobleman expresses the transition in the American economy from rural agriculture to one driven by industrial wealth and the creation of large estates. By making the Italian aristocracy the protagonists of his Anglo-Italian novels, James also provides a cursive acknowledgement of the restoration of the Italian aristocracy which was at the heart of the revolutionaries’ nationalist debate during the Italian Risorgimento. The creation of a unified and independent Italy in 1871 also included a king, Victor-Emmanuel II. The desire to acquire the habits and style of the genteel European nobility was grafted onto the new American interest in collecting the aesthetic treasures of Europe then being acquired by wealthy Americans to form the major museum collections of America. Towards the turn of the century, Anglo-Italian authors and artists lost their interest in the revolutionary cause of Italy and centennial America, and replaced this cause with a new pure aestheticism, lacking an underlying political and moral agenda. James’ novels articulate a new crisis in marriage in which men declare their independence from their dependent women. James’ reversal of the women’s movement issue approaches domestic gender roles from the male perspective. His protagonists are educated aesthetes who long for escapism from the confines of societal gender and marriage roles. The new wealth acquired by Americans towards the end of the century during the Gilded Age, afforded such perversions of traditional male duties, without overtly supporting the women’s suffrage movement and rehabilitation of women’s employment.

This paper aims at discussing the visual symbols as well as aspects such as the acting performances, the historical accuracy, the teleplay, and the direction in Franc Roddam’s 1998 television miniseries Moby Dick, adapted from Herman Melville’s homonymous novel (1851). The two-part television production incorporates a few symbolic elements not necessarily present in the source text. These symbols (the image of a dog, the evocation of a giant, a whale-shaped mark, a great fire and an underwater corpse) are visually associated with characters as diverse as Elijah, Ahab, Queequeg and Moby Dick. The investigation focuses thus on the possible interpretations suggested by these visual symbols and how they contribute to better our comprehension not only of these characters but also of the novel’s complex themes of death, power, evil, redemption, among others. Resumo O presente trabalho objetiva discutir os simbolos visuais bem como aspetos tais como as atuacoes, a reconstituicao de epoca, a roteirizacao e a realizacao relativamente a minisserie de televisao Moby Dick (1998), uma adaptacao da obra homonima de Herman Melville, realizada por Franc Roddam. A producao televisiva, dividida em dois episodios, incorpora certos elementos simbolicos nao necessariamente presentes no texto-fonte. Esses simbolos (a imagem de um cao, a evocacao de um gigante, uma marca em forma de baleia, um incendio de grandes proporcoes e um cadaver submerso) sao visualmente associados a personagens tao diversas quanto Elijah, Ahab, Queequeg e Moby Dick. A investigacao enfoca, portanto, as possiveis interpretacoes sugeridas por esses simbolos visuais e como eles contribuem para aprimorar a nossa compreensao de tais personagens e de temas complexos abordados no romance como a morte, o poder, o mal, a redencao, entre outros.

Partindo do conceito de “lieu de memoire” postulado pelo historiador Pierre Nora, segundo o qual uma entidade (material ou nao) carrega em si significacao simbolica no contexto de uma percepcao identitaria individual e colectiva, pretende-se verificar como no romance de Evelyn Waugh Brideshead Revisited (1945) instituicoes seculares inglesas, tais como a universidade ou a casa senhorial, operam o seu processo de cristalizacao e monumentalizacao. Concomitantemente, a obra presta-se a leituras que colocam o individuo perante a associacao lugar de memoria (ou rememoracao) / lugar de luto, onde o passado se faz dolorosamente presente.
