RESUMO

Francisco Cândido Xavier s book of mediumistic poems, Parnaso de além-túmulo [Parnassus Beyond the Tomb], containing 259 works attributed to 56 Brazilian and Portuguese poets, is discussed in this dissertation within such categories relevant to Literary Theory as authorship, pastiche, style and the limits of literary geme. The first chapter of three that make up the dissertation analyzes the publication history of Parnaso and the content of the various editions, the poets represented in the anthology as spiritual authors, in addition to the repercussions of publication within the Spiritist community and the press in general. The second chapter consists of five studies that on the basis of the critical bibliografy attempt to ascertain the commonalities between the works of the poets and the poems of Parnaso. A corpus was selected ftom the works of three Portuguese poets (João de Deus, Antero de Quental e Guerra Junqueiro) and two Brazilians (Cruz e Sousa e Augusto dos Anjos). The analysis suggests that the poems of the anthology are not a product of simple literary imitation. The final chapter presents certain implications of the analysis. Entitled, "The Literary Context of Pamassus," the following questions are taken up: configurational aspects of authorship and the probative intentions of the anthology; presuppositions for a Spiritist understanding of art; literary inspiration and Spiritism; Chico Xavier and psychography; and, to conclude, persuasive elements in Spiritist literature.
