Focusing on the years that Eça de Queirós lived in Paris, this work shows how the periodicals he himself conceived and edited were modelled on dozens of Victorian publications such as the Contemporary Review, the Review of Reviews and the Idler, as well as some American ones such as the Forum, the Arena, the North American Review.
London in Paris shows us an Eça who is undeniably an Anglophile, an Eça long seduced by the diversity and originality of English thought, an Eça increasingly distant from the French cultural model which had marked his education. This is a paradigm that, while in England (from 1874 to 1888), he perceives as being too restrictive if it were not complemented by the vast Anglo-Saxon universe which he was given to discover and for which he nurtures a greater fascination, or we could even say a greater passion, than that to which critics and he himself are willing to admit.
