Abstract

In this text I intend to analyse the Alfredo D'Escragnolle Taunay's work, the Viscount of Taunay, particularly the imagetic of Mato Grosso in the traveling descriptions of the Laguna Campaign, during the Paraguay War (1864-1870). In this investigation, I intend to find out the Author's particular universe, focusing on the idea of national identity in the XIX century and on how the notions of Nature, Landscape, Travel and literary Images come into the discussions of a transition Romanticism, with the purpose of studying Taunay's intellectual formation as well as the Brazilian aesthetic tendencies.
