This article investigates the teacher training processes described in two novels published in the first half of the twentieth century, namely: “The Calvary of a Teacher”, by Dora Lice, and “Clarissa”, by Érico Veríssimo. We read these books as apprenticeship or education novels that, as they present the character-teachers in different circumstances, school and non-school, allowing us to identify the complex processes that build their professional identities. The themes related to the main character's professional choice, the gender issues present in the novels' plots, as well as the potential uses of literary works to deal with the themes in the history of Brazilian education, including the history of the school, the teaching profession, and the clashes between the traditional method and the renewed teaching ideas constitute articulating axes for the analysis proposed here.

Keywords : Formation novels; Literary source; Teacher training.
