This paper is a discussion of parallels between John Lydgate's Dance of Death and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

This project explores the work of Hans Holbein the Younger, sixteenth-century printmaker and portraitist, through the lens of early modern physiognomic thought. This period's renewed interest in the discipline of physiognomy, the art and science of "reading" human features, reflects a desire to understand the relationship between outer appearances and inner substances of things. Physiognomic theory has a host of applications and meanings for the visual artist, who produces a surface representation or likeness, yet scholarship on this subject has been limited. Examining Holbein's social context and artistic practice, this project constructs the possibility of a physiognomic reading of several major works. Holbein's engagement with physiognomic theories of appearance and representation provides a vital point of access to early modern discourse on character, identity and self. / Art History

A tese aborda o termo macabro desde suas origens na Baixa Idade Média, partindo dessa perspectiva histórica para interrogar as repercussões da literatura e da iconografia que lhe correspondem, sobretudo no século XIX. Neste, privilegia-se em particular o Romantismo, que se alimenta do imaginário medieval para criar uma estética em grande parte voltada a uma sensibilidade da morte. Em paralelo à análise de certas manifestações artísticas europeias, investiga-se a presença do macabro e suas configurações específicas em exemplares da poesia e da prosa do Brasil oitocentista. O poema A orgia dos duendes, de Bernardo Guimarães, tem lugar especial nessa investigação, por se revelar a mais completa e singular fantasia literária de dança macabra no país. / This thesis, by historicizing the term macabre from its origins in the Late Middle Ages, seeks to understand the repercussions of both literature and iconography involving the macabre during the 19th Century, a time when the medieval imaginary was revived through Romanticism. The manifestations of this romantic sensibility as respects to death in the 19th Century in Brazil are also investigated, in an attempt to analyze its influences in Brazilian poetry and prose. The poem A orgia dos duendes, by Bernardo Guimarães, is given special attention in this investigation, as it is deemed the most significant example of the Danse Macabre in Brazil.
