Abstract

This paper focuses on the presence of French naturalist literature from the second half of the nineteenth century to 1914, highlighting its importance and diversity in the Brazilian literary field and its survival by means of association with other forms of art, such as theatre and cinema. In order to prove this point, data are presented which confirm the circulation of the works of French naturalist writers throughout the period, reaching a varied public, and show their strength outside the literary sphere per se, causing an impact on fashion and customs.
