Abstract (lang="eng")
The object of this essay is to show the fusion of popular and erudite culture in João Guimarães Rosa' s "The Devil to Pay in the Backlands." Many of the folkloric motifs and much of the popular discourse which constitute the heroic cycle of the literatura de cordel are expressed in artistic fashion in the novel. Thus, the heroic spirit of the "knight of the backlands," constant in the cycles of the bandit and the valiant backlander in cordel, is present in Guimarães Rosa's novel. It is an example of one of the major cultural currents of the twentieth century in Brazil: the sharing of a cultural substratum by both popular and erudite writers.
Abstract (lang="por")
O objetivo deste ensaio é mostrar a fusão da cultura popular e erudita em "Grande Sertão: Veredas" de João Guimarães Rosa. Muitos dos temas folclóricos e grande parte do discurso popular que constituem o ciclo heróico da literatura de cordel são apresentadas artisticamente no romance. Assim, o espírito heróico do "cavaleiro do sertão", constante nos ciclos do bandido e do valente sertanejo na literatura de cordel, está presente no romance de Guimarães Rosa. É um exemplo de uma das principais correntes culturais do século XX no Brasil: como escritores populares e eruditos compartilham um substrato cultural.
