Resumo
O P.E.N. Clube do Brasil é uma associação de escritores, fundada em 1936 por Cláudio Justiniano de Souza (1876-1954) nos moldes do P. E. N. Internacional e que desfruta de autonomia em termos de procedimentos administrativos e culturais. O acrônimo P.E.N., que tinha por significado “Poetas, Ensaístas e Novelistas”, posteriormente ampliado para “Poetas, Playwrights [dramaturgos], Editores, Ensaístas e Romancistas”, foi organizado em 1921 na cidade de Londres pela poetisa Catherine Amy Dawson-Scott (1865-1934) e tinha a ambição de representar a classe intelectual em âmbito mundial. A pesquisa tem por objetivo principal analisar, durante o período da presidência de seu fundador (1936-1954), os projetos e os ideais defendidos pelo P. E. N. Clube do Brasil que tinham como destinatários os “homens de letras”, tanto no que diz respeito às questões dos escritores nacionais, quanto aos assuntos supranacionais que circulavam pelo globo. Entre as fontes merece destaque os documentos produzidos pela própria instituição, que são confrontados com o material disponível sobre a agremiação em jornais e revistas da época.
