ESSAYS ABOUT EÇA DE QUEIRÓS IN THE JORNAL DE LETRAS, ARTES E IDEIAS

Abstract

This text deals with the result of a research that gathered the essays published on the Portuguese author Eça de Queirós in the Jornal de Letras, Artes e Ideias _JL_, in Lisbon, from 1981 to 2013. After visits to the Sala de Materiais Especiais, from the Florestan Fernandes Library, of the Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas, of the Universidade de São Paulo, we found, in the chosen time frame, 33 essays about our object of study. Thus, we bring to this article, in an unprecedented way, the cataloging and analysis of four essays, as a sample of the material, verifying the critical and theoretical guidelines used by the authors of the publications and observing how the journalistic texts converged and/or diverged with the basic and referential critiques about Eça de Queirós.
