Ebook: Literaturgeschichte und Ideologie: Ferdinand Wolfs literaturpolitisches Projekt «Le Brésil littéraire» (1863)

This study reveals the implications of literary historiography when it is instrumentalized to control how the past is perceived, of which Le Brésil littéraire (1863) is a paradigmatic example. This volume by the Austrian civil servant Ferdinand Wolf supported an ideology that furthered the claims of both the Brazilian and the Habsburg imperial regime under the cloak of scholarship.
