Abstract

A comparative study of the literary criticism of Mario de Andrade and Sergio Buarque de Holanda, besides considering the criteria of approach to literary work and reflections on the role of intellectuals in critical articles, should also search for evidence in the intertextual references of both literary and theoretical texts from other authors. For this study, it is important to identify the references throughout the critical work of authors who have driven the most important reflections over their productions.Thus, the literature studied should include these references in the case of texts by Mario de Andrade and Sergio Buarque de Holanda, including books of Brazilian and foreign artists of the late nineteenth century, the avant-gardes of the early twentieth century, and authors who have treated arts and literature, both in the context of avant-garde and of the critique, for example, the New Criticism. Therefore, access to the library system at Princeton University, USA, which presents a collection of international reference in the field of humanities studies which presents a collection of international reference in the field of humanities studies is essential.
