Our work is based on the analysis of four writers w hose work has been composed in the city of São Paulo’s 20 th century: Patrícia Galvão (1930’s), Maria José Dupr é (1940’s), Carolina Maria de Jesus (1950’s and 60’s) and Zulmi ra Ribeiro Tavares (1980’s and 90’s). The aim of our essay is to show how the historic co ntent of Brazilian modernity appears in the aesthetic form of the novels, poems and journals of each writer, composing a fragmentary panel of the city and discussing their works in rel ation to the canonic production of their time, questioning the position of the so called “secondar y” writer and his critical importance not only for literary historiography but as to a more d eep comprehension of the historical process of modernization, still in course. Through differen t writers and genres, whose more down-toearth themes show a raw image of the city, we try t o emphasize the necessity of a critical method aware of the variety of the literary system and the importance of comparing great and minor literary works, in the power that both have o f throwing light to each other and consequently to the society that surrounds them, in opposition to the usual studies of great figures of our modernism, approached generally in t heir more metaphysical aspects, distanced from the historical and social ground from where gr ows the literary phenomenon.
