While still significant, the depth and frequency of analyses on lesser-known historical literary figures outside of Camilo Castelo Branco have decreased, indicating a more concentrated focus on a few key authors. - 19th Century Brazilian Literature:
Although still present, there is a reduction in the exploration of 19th-century Brazilian literature as a whole, with a more pronounced emphasis on specific narratives or authors rather than broader trends. - Postcolonial Studies:
