Abstract

Guimarães Rosa relates his art with the Brazilian literary tradition and the universal one as the author of an esthetic and social act. This relationship is expressed through a literary form that brings together the representation of sertão, a main reference; and an evaluation of this reference from Rosa’s particular point of view, which is communicated to the addressee and to the reader in his texts. Many critical texts were produced about Rosa and his works, but an important critique, after a lot of content’s interpretation, is the esthetic and political intervention by the literary form of Rosa in the canon.
