“Inútil acrescentar que sua opinião é para mim importantíssima”: Murilo Mendes escreve de Roma para Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In the Archive-museum of Brazilian literature at Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa in Rio de Janeiro there are letters sent by Murilo Mendes to Carlos Drummond de Andrade between 1930 and 1971. There is no information about Drummond’s letters to Murilo (with rare exceptions). The correspondence is important, because it points not only to unpublished biobibliographical data, but also to aspects of the historical, cultural, and literary context in which the authors carried out their own poetic production. In this sense, the correspondence, in addition to providing information about the genesis of the authors’ work, constitutes the ideal space for the exercise of criticism by the two poets. The objective of this essay is to reconstruct, through unpublished letters sent by Murilo Mendes to Carlos Drummond de Andrade, elements of Murilo Mendes’ biography and production, with an emphasis on the period of the so-called “Italian phase” (1957-1975).
