Abstract

António José Saraiva (1917–1993) was a productive Portuguese intellectual, and some of his most relevant work includes the criticism on important Portuguese writers, such as Eça de Queirós. For a long period, his book As ideias de Eça de Queirós (1946), in which he depicted the revolutionary side of Eça, was highly considered in the literary circles. In this article, we intend to analyze Saraiva´s ideas, especially the ones concentrated on Eça de Queirós ´s early work. Our intention is to demonstrate that Saraiva dedicated his attention to those books or pieces in which Eça´s criticism on society was most vivid and harsh, while the ones which did not provide such a strong view on Portugal social situation were disregarded. It is our belief that Saraiva´s option led to the general acceptance about Eça de Queirós’s work having two sides: one in which he was a “relovutionary” author, and another in which he consented with the country´s situation.
