Revista moderna (1897-1899): um correio Ilustrado por uma rede de relações

Abstract

This work consists of the presentation and analysis of a network of relationships that was formed around the large luxury journalistic and artistic-literary company, the Revista Moderna (1897-1899). The study, however, is restricted to the identification of who were the main intellectuals of the late XIX century involved with the publication of this magazine in Paris and what were the contributions to the eighteenth-century literature by these characters in those luxurious pages full of illustrations. The research was carried out in the primary sources, having the Revista Moderna as the main source of research. To this end, we resorted to the editions of the mentioned magazine, available in the Portuguese Literary Association of the city of Belém and in the Digital Hemeroteca of the National Library. It was concluded, among other things, that the Revista Moderna served as an instrument of culture diffuser, enabling the propagation of critical ideas, politics and eighteenth-century literature, enabling the diffusion of European fashion in Brazil and Portugal, as well as the circulation of the texts of several authors even before they were printed in books.
