It discusses Machado's novels and short stories before 1880; the effects of the success of Eça de Queirós and Machado's critique of his aesthetic choices and the structure of his narrative; Machado's subsequent return to the classical notion of aemulatio, which led him to develop the poetics of emulation; and the vocabulary and procedures of the techniques of imitatio and aemulatio in his works.
