Author Description

"With introduction, organization, and notes by Prof. Antônio Dimas, volume represents a unique contribution to current work in field, emphasizing historical role of this particularly significant author. Bilac, prince of Brazilian poets, succeeded Machado de Assis as cronista in Rio's press. Titles are organized thematically (people, cinema, literature, city life, politics, etc.), with special note on the Canudos campaign"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
