Ressonâncias da tradição: Guimarães Rosa, Mário de Andrade e Simões Lopes Neto

Abstract

We discuss João Guimarães Rosa’s, Mário de Andrade’s, and João Simões Lopes Neto’s works, with the purpose of verifying to what extent contact points identified in these authors’ fiction promote readjustments in the Brazilian literary series. The reflection is based on the literary tradition notion, as formulated by T. S. Eliot and Jorge Luis Borges, and subsequently aims at mapping the occurrence of resonances of Mário de Andrade and Simões Lopes Neto works in Guimarães Rosa’s literature. By doing so, the study intends to examine how Guimarães Rosa’s work resignifies Mário de Andrade and Simões Lopes Neto texts, renewing their legibility and modifying their position in the literary field
