A correspondência de Arthur de Salles e a edição crítica de sua obra

Abstract

Arthur de Salles 's letters to Durval de Moraes bring very precious evidences on Salles's poetic "making of the text". This information would be of great benefit to the critical editor if one has a good knowledge of the Portuguese language used by the author. The language used by a primary school teacher, by a reader of literature classics, by a Parnasian poet and also linked to the spelling system he used. Besides, the analysys of the scripta of the author is also important in order to understand better the author's punctuation process.
