Abstract
The objective of this work is to analyze the presence of literary profiles in the context of criticism and historiography. From the production of Araripe J?§nior and Jos?? Ver??ssimo, it is sought to observe how these profiles were points of reference for the autonomy and identity of Brazilian literature in the 19th century. In a second moment, it is observed that, from a context of consolidation of the national literature, the literary profiles gained autonomy and were defined as important resources for the understanding of the literature. In this period, the production of literary profiles made by ?lvaro Lins stands out, especially in his work called Os mortos de sobrecasaca, published in 1963.
