Abstract

Seeking to historify the hindrances of the second edition of Mário de Andrade’s short stories of Belazarte [1944] for the Americ-Edit (Rio de Janeiro) of Max Fischer, this article intends to reflect on the importance of the “body of the literary composition” and the “history of this body” – as put by Antonio Candido in Noções de análise histórico-literária (1959/2005) –, for the full exercise of the work of analysis and literary interpretation. It still intends in such a way to supply unknown bio-bibliographical elements of primary source (letters, manuscripts, documentation of periodicals, dedication) to the deepening of investigations of textual criticism, as well as to the definition of new angles of apprehension of the functioning of the Brazilian literary system, in mid 20th century.
