| Abstract | This article aims to develop a comparative-interpretative analysis of Notre-Dame de Paris (1831) by Victor Hugo and Memorial do Convento (1982) by José Saramago. Formal and thematic similarities allow and even encourage the comparison between these two historical novels, notably characterized by reflections about time, humanity and religion. There are surprising similarities in their characters, themes, narrators and titles, both referring to historical and religious monuments (the Notre-Dame Cathedral in France and the Palace of Mafra in Portugal). Among these points of intersection, one that stands out the most is the relation between a notion of non-hegemonic History, which for Walter Benjamin shows the tradition of the oppressed, and an accurate social critique. The comparative reading may clarify the intertextualities in the novels while considering their specificities as well. |
