LIMA BARRETO E A CRÍTICA: A PUBLICAÇÃO DE RECORDAÇÕES DO ESCRIVÃO ISAÍAS CAMINHA

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the critic bibliography concerning the writer Lima Barreto, from the time of publication, still in feuilleton, of his debut novel: Recordações do escrivão Isaías Caminha’s first pages. In this way, we’ll make an inventory of the official criticism about the writer's work as well to bring out the image of this criticism, at the 20th century beginning, created about Lima Barreto. Think about the reading of Lima Barreto’s work made by official literary criticism of 20th century is a productive way to redeem the literary criticism’s manner of performing, but also interesting way to show the creation of Lima Barreto’s stereotypes at that time.
