COSTA RIBEIRO, Rosária Cristina. Monarchic Spaces in Quatrevingt-treize by Victor Hugo. Íkala [online]. 2008, vol.13, n.20, pp.185-205. ISSN 0123-3432.

This article presents the obtained results throughout the Master degree dissertation, entitled The role of spatiality in Quatrevingt-treize (1814) by Victor Hugo, in which it is analyzed how The French Revolution redefined some meanings and contributed to the formation of the contemporary world. In this traditional historical novel, the literary composition of rebellious and monarchic spaces is observed by means of a romantic and turn-of-the-century vision. During the reading of the book, we are surprised by a narration expressing resistance to the revolutionary progress in 1793: 'the War of Vendéia', an eminently monarchist and feudal space, in opposition to that of revolutionary Paris.

Palavras-chave : traditional historical novel; Quatrevingt-treize by Victor Hugo; George Lukàcs; space in literature; the French Revolution; monarchic space.
