- Title

- Abstract
The poet's representation in Western literature has fluctuated between the model of the irrational being, enthusiastic, possessed by a kind of divine madness that captivates the senses, and that of the serene poet, the wordsmith, who consciously undertakes the creative process. These archetypes are based on the tradition of the critical discourse of Antiquity, especially in Plato (427-347 BC), Aristotle (384-322 BC) and Horace (65-8 BC), three milestones that can be seen as part of the same development and evolution of the critical logos. Thus, what we intend is to map the main images that over the centuries have been generated on the representation of writers, and grasp the meaning of the classical tradition in the literature closest to our geography and time --particularly the novel Julián (1888), by José Gil Fortoul, in order to try to understand the way that the poetintellectual is represented in that nineteenth-century Venezuelan novel.
