Abstract

SENA, Fabiana. Imprensa e instrução pública no império: o modo epistolar nos jornais do Rio de Janeiro e da Paraíba. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.01, pp.73-97. ISSN 2238-0094.

This article seeks to uncover how periodicals in the provinces of Paraíba and Rio de Janeiro disseminated the news on education and public instruction during the Empire through letter writing. To that end, the epistles found in newspapers from these provinces were analyzed using the rules and models of composition, as disseminated in epistolary manuals, by regarded discursive structure as impregnated with persuasive intent. Through the letters on public education, it was was possible to verify the writing of ordinary individuals who made up the public education of the time, making it possible to understand the daily life of a community of readers, taking note of what they did, read, wrote or thought during the Empire.

Keywords : Press; Letters; Public Instruction; Empire.
