Abstract

On 28th February 1897, Machado de Assis leaves the “Gazeta de Notícias”, closing a period of thirty-eight years of regular colaboration with the city’s press. His leaving is enigmatic and has been interpreted in various ways by the literary studies. This article aims to discuss the reasons which led Machado to abandon the crônica and also demonstrate that some features of this type of writing had a direct influence in the production of his three last novels, published after February 1897.
