Cover Story: Pride and Prejudice in Brazil’s Popular Culture: A Photonovel and a Soap Opera” analyses two Brazilian adaptations of Jane Austen’s work, in particular Pride and Prejudice. The first is a photonovel of the 1960s translated from an Italian magazine; the second, a TV soap opera broadcast in 2018. Both were, and soap operas still are, very successful genres in Brazil’s popular culture with specific structures and features that, once applied to the appropriated novels, created new products. This essay argues, therefore, that Austen’s presence in Brazil has been mediated by the characteristics of the so-called “lowbrow” media, the expectations of their audience, and Brazil’s own history, with interesting effects on how the author is understood in the country to this day.
