O passado entrelaçado à modernidade : análise comparativa entre Cora Coralina e Leodegária de Jesus

Abstract

This research aims to show a comparative study between two poetess who are from Goiás: Cora Coralina and Leodegária de Jesus. They were contemporary in cultural activities at the beginning of the twentieth century, moving away their form and the content of their works. Leodegária de Jesus, when she was only 17 years old, she was the first woman to come out a poem book in Goiás, contributing significantly to the woman appreciation in the society of her time. Her genuinely romantic poetry contributed greatly to the cultural context of Goiás at the beginning of last century. On the other hand, the poetess Cora Coralina, with her work marked by the influence of modernity, she could, come out her first book when she was 75 years old, transcending the regional and school literary limits. This work will reveal in which part they distanced themselves, they who contributed so much with the appearance of the female literature in Goiás.
