Resumo O artigo busca resgatar o lugar ocupado por Helena (1876), de Machado de Assis, e O Cabeleira (1876), de Franklin Távora, no campo literário da década de 1870. Para tanto, analisa a recepção dos romances no periódico Ilustração Brasileira, no qual é possível mapear o início do diálogo entre Machado e Távora quanto aos rumos da literatura nacional. Com isso, propõe uma leitura do gênero romance derivada da comparação da recepção de projetos literários em disputa, buscando restabelecer a relação entre leitor e obra em seu contexto e sincronicidade, rompendo com a leitura mediada por sua inserção no cânone da literatura brasileira.
Abstract This essay aims to identify the place occupied on the literary scene of the 1870s by Machado de Assis's Helena (1876) and Franklin Távora's O Cabeleira (1876). Therefore, the essay analyzes the reception of the novels in Ilustração Brasileira, a journal in which one can map the early dialogue between Machado and Távora regarding the tack of Brazil's literature. Then the essay offers a reading of the novel through a comparison of the critical reception of the competing literary projects, seeking to reestablish the relationship between the reader and the literary work in its context and synchronicity, a break from the reading mediated by its insertion in the canon of Brazilian literature.
