Crítica a um jovem poeta: correspondência entre Mário de Andrade e Alphonsus de Guimaraens filho

Abstract

This article aims to establish connections between the literary criticism that Mário de Andrade published in the early 1940s and the one he elaborated in his correspondence, which we call “informal criticism”. For this, some of his points of view on the poetic production of the 1940s presented in the text “Lume de Estrelas” and in the letters he exchanged with Alphonsus de Guimaraens Filho will be confronted.
