As antologias organizadas pela escritora Henriqueta Lisboa nas décadas de 1960 e 1970.

Abstract

The anthologies of the poems written by Henriqueta Lisboa in the decades of 1960 and 1970 are discussed in this paper. The main goal of this work is to highlight the pioneering spirit of the ideas of the writer and check possible contributions of these ideas to current debates about the use of anthologies in literature classes. Among the ideas of Henriqueta Lisboa, we highlight: the vision about anthology as a tool for the "aesthetic education" of the child and the young; the emphasis on reading the literary text at the expense of the study of historiography prioritized at the time; the observation of the reader's interest as a criterion for the selection of the texts; the organization of an anthology by reversing the chronological linearity ( instead of selecting the authors and the works of the past to the present, the author starts from the contemporary works to the earliest ones); the opening for contemporary authors.
