Deodoro da Fonseca

President of Brazil (1827-1892)

Deodoro da Fonseca is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Deodoro da Fonseca as President of Brazil (1827-1892).

Deodoro da Fonseca was born in 1827. His recorded nationality is Brazil. He was educated at Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras.

The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.

The record gives his occupations as politician and military personnel.

Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

Working from Brazil shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Deodoro da Fonseca died in 1892 at the age of 65. The work outlived the arguments around it.
