Cartas e crônicas de Augusto dos Anjos

Abstract

The objective of this work is to rescue the memory and work of Augusto dos Anjos, elected Paraibano of the Century. The organization of the letters and chronicles chosen was carried out observing the criterion of authenticity of various sources; the research lasted three months. “What becomes clear when reading some of the letters is the affection and love with which Augusto treated his brothers. At the same time, one perceives the domineering and castrating character that was exercised by the hand of Sinhá-Mocinha over the poet, influencing his dark and melancholic personality, marking him for the rest of his life.
