Summary/Abstract: The article is a research of Maria Teresa Horta’s literary text The Lights of Leonor, Marquesa de Alorna, Seductress of Angels, Poets, and Heroes (2012). It focuses on a critical-analytical reading of the fictional text and tries to emphasize the development of its transgressive nature within the hybridisation of history and fiction. The theoretical focus falls mainly on the studies of Cristina Vieira (2008), Carlos Reis and Ana Lopes (2007), and Vanda Anastácio (2009, 2012). The analysis reveals that the heroine’s development is marked by oppression and how her resistance is directly drawn from the Enlightenment period.
