A formação literária de Ovídio Saraiva

Abstract

The use of word formation, presente in the title of this work, corresponds first of all to the pursuit of intelectual trajectory of Ovídio Saraiva, culminating in the realization of Poems (1808), our object of study. We are awaew that, in this process, there are elements of sócio-political, economic na cultural order, which are extra-literary factors, even thoug his own literacy creation is surpassed by such elements, given the inevitable historicity of the writter amid the circumstances of his time, with his hardships and joys, prejudices and advances towards a better future. And for that, we analize his connection with the movement know as Arcadiasnism, especially characterized by bucolic aspect in his produtions, largely made upo f poems. More than that, this work has as one of its concerns the image of Ovídio Saraiva drawn by students of Piauí literature. We could not avoid a longer analysis of the book published by Ovídio Saraiva, hence the space reserved especially for this analysis, which includes the choice of some sample poems of his poetic membership to the Arcadianism, his classical training, and even among such poems, those that break or move away at least in the contente from the Arcadianism precepts. Among the theoretical authors, we point out some names, such as Massaud Moises (2013), Antonio Candido (2000), Oscar Lopes and José Saraiva (2001), and Ruedas de la Serna (1995).
