A crítica literária sobre a lírica de Joaquim Cardozo no diário de Pernambuco

Abstract

The present work sought to analyze the literary criticisms published in the Diário de Pernambuco about the lyrics of Joaquim Cardozo, in order to demonstrate the impact on the reception of this author's work in the region from Pernambuco. Thus, the objective of the research was to discuss how the literary criticism on the poetry of Joaquim Cardozo published in the Diário de Pernambuco was relevant to the studies of his lyrical work. The methodology used consists of bibliographical research, with a qualitative approach. The critical method adopted for this research was the historiographical one however, it was necessary to track the issues inherent to literary criticism. In the analysis of the corpus, we realized that two lines prevailed in the literary criticism about the author in this periodical: 1. the relationship between the poet from Pernambuco and his region; 2. "human geography", an expression that points to reflections on universal human problems. For theoretical reflection, we relied on the theory of Souza (2014), Nina (2007), Durão (2016), Cintra (2020), among others.
