Abstract

This article aims to describe briefly the sociocultural and literary context which witnessed the appearance of Portuguese translations in the second half of the nineteenth century. This characterization is preferably illustrated by statements of prominent intellectuals and writers of the time. At the same time, it offers an overview of the concepts of translation and translating activity held at the time for which there are well documented opposing perspectives.
