REVISTA ERA NOVA E A POESIA DE PERYLLO DOLIVEIRA NO PERÍODO DE 1921 A 1925

Abstract

The present work had the objective of making Era Nova magazine a source of research for the work of Peryllo Doliveira, in an attempt to better understand the discursive and historical context in which his poetry and prose circulated. We highlight the magazine for having been an influential periodical that was at the forefront of the modernist movement in Paraiba. The Era Nova was a fortnightly and illustrated magazine from Paraiba, which circulated between 1921 and 1925, with a literary and news character, aiming at literary development and cooperating in favor of "the ideas of cultured people and making a publicity organ that interested to all classes". The poet Peryllo Doliveira stood out in that magazine, in which he published a series of poems and chronicles, besides also fulfilling the role of editor of the magazine. He stood out as one of the greatest poets of the modernist movement in Paraiba. Thus, in this work, we give visibility to the author's work, making known the poems, chronicles and writings published in this periodical from Paraíba. Furthermore, we shed light on the considerable literary trajectory of Peryllo, who sang poetry in his verses, being considered a sad poet, for his compositions were melancholic, spiritual, sentimental. Moving by life and its causes, he also denounced the changes in his city and portrayed the differences of social classes in his chronicles with the pseudonym Paulo Danizio. We believe that Peryllo, by finding space in the Era Nova magazine, achieved his consecration as a writer.
