Description: The objective of this research is the analysis and interpretation of the chronicles Gazeta de Holanda, written by Machado de Assis and published between 1st November 1886 and February 24, 1888, in the newspaper of largest circulation in Rio de Janeiro at the time, Gazeta de Notícias. For this purpose, we have considered the relation between two elements frequently cited by the brazilian literary criticism tradition: the chronicle gender was produced in large quantity and variety by the most esteemed Brazilian writers; besides, the brazilian chronicle was a literary genre relatively new, if compared with others already recognized by the tradition, which has transformed it in something less estimated, but certainly yet very popular and practiced by the major of the brazilian authors. In addition, we prioritized the social context in which these texts were produced, mainly, to do not ignore a priori information potentially significant for the interpretation of the texts. In the case of Machado de Assis, even that in many of the chronicles analyzed there is no direct reference to facts and events published in the newspapers of the time, we must say that the significant structure of their texts is in direct dialogue with the capability of the context in which it is inserted. Thus, we will discuss in this research: the genre within its social context, trying to understand the general idea that the brazilian critics linked the chronicles with something like a \"national genre\"; the formal analysis of the Gazeta de Holanda, suggesting the literary relevance of these texts, as isolated units and as set of texts; and, finally, pointing its significant relevance within the chronicler production.
