Using a qualitative research methodology that includes the application of the most relevant theoretical proposals to the narrative, and the comparative and specific analysis of the literary corpus, this study aims at analysing the functions of medievalism and the representation of the Middle Ages in Valter Hugo Mãe’s O remorso de Baltazar Serapião (2006). Highlighting the central theme of the novel –the representation of women– this article presents some considerations about the use of medieval models as a comparative/critical confrontation strategy between the time projected in the story and the present.
