This work consists of scrolling through the pages of newspapers and literary criticism from 1890 to 1960 to discuss the history of Brazilian literature that was formed through the selection of forgotten authors and works as it happened to the writer Pereira da Silva, the object of this work . Thus, we focused on the historical and literary revival of the author Antonio Joaquim Pereira da Silva (1876-1944), born in the city of Araruna (PB), he was the author of seven books of poetry, affiliated to the symbolist aesthetics and the first writer from Paraiba to occupy a seat in the Brazilian Academy of Letters in 1934. Pereira da Silva was also a journalist and a literary critic who joined Rio periodical press in the late nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century, a period when newspapers were the primary means of written circulation and dissemination of literature in Brazil and the Brazilian press was living a moment of transformation in the Brazilian historical and cultural setting. Although in life and after his death, his name has been taken up by literary critics until the mid-1960s, taking part of the list of symbolist authors, his name is deleted by the history of literature we know today. For this reason, our purpose, therefore, is to resume this historical-literary author, his career in newspapers and his literary criticism from the late nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century as well as pointing out the probable causes of his subsequent erasure. For this research, we used a variety of sources such as newspapers, academies of letters, literary criticism and the education system under the theoretical framework of Bourdieu (1996, 2009), Roger Chartier (1998; 1999; 2002; 2007), Foucault (1999; 2001), Michel Certeau (1998), De Luca (2005), Barbosa (2007), Barbosa (2010), among others, refering to cultural practices related to literary media and reading but also to the systems of power and their implications for the composition and maintenance of the literary canon.
