No intento de atingi-lo, fez-se necess?rio percorrer dois caminhos: o primeiro deles, acompanhando o processo de estrutura??o do conceito de humor ingl?s at? sua manifesta??o em Tristram Shandy (KLIBANSKY, 1979); (WATT, 2010); o segundo, identificando as particularidades da manifesta??o do humor ingl?s em Mem?rias p?stumas e a din?mica alimentada pela cr?tica brasileira com a quest?o da identidade nacional (CANDIDO, .2012), (MAGALH?ES J?NIOR, 2008). / This paper aims to identify the aesthetic concept of humor underlying Brazilian 19th-century critical readings of Epitaph of a small winner, by Machado de Assis (GUIMAR?ES, 2004; ROMERO, 1897). First, we follow the structuring process of the concept of English humour from the Hippocratic theory of humors through Tristram Shandy, by Laurence Sterne (KLIBANSKY; PANOFSKY; SAXL, 1979; WATT, 2010). Finally, we analyze it in Epitaph of a small winner considering the concept of national identity in Brazilian literary milieu at the time (CANDIDO, 2012; MAGALH?ES J?NIOR, 2008).
