| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to analyze liberal ideologemes in a group of novels written by Uruguayans and Argentinians between 1850 and 1860. These works belong to the so-called “cycle of tyranny” (Molina, 2011). They address historical conflicts related to the Rosas period and the siege of Montevideo. Linked to José Mármol’s Amalia (1850-55), Laurindo Lapuente’s El Herminio de la Nueva Troya (1857) and Virtud y amor hasta la tumba (1858), these noveles engage in dialogue with A. Dumas's chronicle La Nueva Troya (1850) and establish versions of history shaped by liberal ideologemes that drive certain representations of the Eastern space (the Banda Oriental, present-day Uruguay). Drawing on Frye’s framework on the conventions of romance, the analysis highlights how this space is made suitable for the development of republican and civilized subjects. |
