De Rubem Fonseca a Paulo Lins: a violência na literatura dos 90
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Este trabalho procura verificar a forma pela qual se dá a presença da violência na literatura brasileira dos anos 1990, buscando entender o significado social dessa violência, passo necessário para se entender, inclusive, a relação entre a forma literária assentada na violência e a formação social do Brasil contemporâneo. Procuramos analisar o romance Agosto de Rubem Fonseca e entender seu significado como romance histórico nos anos 90, década em que se tentava encerrar de vez as aspirações nacionais dos anos 50, época narrada no livro. Igualmente imerso na temática da violência e revelador das características fragmentárias dos anos 90, temos o romance Cidade de Deus, de Paulo Lins, que, como romance etnográfico, procura dar voz a uma população normalmente silenciada e vítima do próprio processo de violenta modernização e falta de perspectivas dos anos 90. Diante das questões sobre a violência na literatura e em nossa própria sociedade, em sua faceta interpessoal e cotidiana, o estudo desses dois romances é importante para compreendermos não só os caminhos de nossa literatura, em termos de uma tradição literária, mas também a maneira como sua estrutura pode nos ajudar a entender a dinâmica de nossa própria sociedade nos anos 90.This work intends to verify the form in which violence is present in the Brazilian literature of the 1990´s, aiming to understand the social meaning of this violence, step required to also understand the relation between the literary form grounded on violence and the social formation of contemporary Brazil. We proceed to analyze the Rubem Fonseca´s Agosto novel trying to understand its meaning as an historic novel written during the 90´s, a decade where it was bound to finish the national aspirations so the 50´s, the narrated period. Equally immersed in the violence theme and revealing the fragmentary characteristics of the 90´s, we have Paulo Lins´s novel Cidade de Deus, which, as an ethnographic novel, intend to give voice to a population usually silenced and victim of a process of violent modernization and lack of perspectives in the 90´s. Facing questions about violence in literature and violence in our own society, in its daily interpersonal display, the study of these novels are important for the comprehension of not only the paths of our literature, in terms of a literary tradition, but also the way in which its structure can help us understand the dynamics of our own society in the 90´s

The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod"
No full text"William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade ""Fiona Macleod"" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman.
Sharp wrote ""I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out"". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing ""second self"".
With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.
