Narcisa Amália

a recepção crítica de uma poeta-jornalista na imprensa periódica internacional

Abstract

Despite her erasure from our canonical literary stories, Narcisa Amália de Campos was a poet, short story writer, and journalist. Recent studies have mainly recovered her lyrical work (Faedrich, 2020), but her critical reception has not yet been systematized and lacks research. This study, therefore, is dedicated to her reception in the international press and seeks to contextualize such reception based on the editorial and writing practices of the periodical press in the 19th century (Thérenty; Vaillant, 2010). Based on research in digitized newspapers and magazines, in the main digital databases of national and international periodicals, I present a repertoire and critical examination of the reception that the poet-journalist and her production received by her peers, journalists, and critics, in newspapers and magazines between 1870 and the beginning of the 20th century, in the context of the international press, especially in the Portuguese press. The results prove the expressive recognition of Narcisa Amália by famous writers and journalists of her time.
