How is a classic of Brazilian literature made?
2019
Marisa S. Mello
This book addresses the historical process of the literary enshrinement of Erico Verissimo, Graciliano Ramos, Jorge Amado and Rachel de Queiroz, based on their positions in the intellectual field, from their training and literary debuts, in the 1930s, through their establishment as professionals, up to the present day, when their books are consolidated classics of Brazilian literature and the Internet has transformed the organization of the publishing industry. The author privileges an analysis of factors of enshrinement specific to the literary field, such as publishers, literary prizes, the Brazilian Academy of Letters, and criticism, among others. She seeks specificity in each career and situation, whilst simultaneously reconstructing the forms of the collective operation of the Brazilian literary movement throughout the twentieth century and during the first decade of the twenty-first century.
