Abstract

SILVA, Shayenne Schneider  and  MIGNOT, Ana Chrystina Venancio. Letter of profession: Coelho Netto in charge of the Drama School (1910-1934). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e134.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-134.

The aim of the present article is to interpret the work by Henrique Maximiano Coelho Netto, as director and professor at the Drama School. Accordingly, his correspondence at the National Library Foundation and at the Brazilian Academy of Letters was assessed, since his life intertwined with the literary and educational scene of Rio de Janeiro City, when it was still the capital of the Republic. Thus, the present work started from the history of the written culture perspective to interpret his letters by reflecting on the addressees and senders during the time he ran the school, as well as on the purpose and context of writing; on the relationship he had with his interlocutors and the previously mentioned school. The aim of the present study is to broaden the knowledge on the history of the herein addressed institution, which was created in the First Republic and, most of all, on Coelho Netto himself, who had his teaching performance overshadowed by his other facets.

Keywords : Coelho Netto; Letters; Drama School.
