Abstract

David Caldas was a prominent journalist, politician and intellectual from 19th century Piauí. In addition to his function as a historical republican – a dimension of his existence most explored by historiography – the author was a skillful interpreter of his time. Through the newspapers O Amigo do Povo and Oitenta e Nove, this work seeks to analyze Caldas's writings published between 1868 and 1875, perceiving him as a historical subject who, through his intellectual activity (as a writer, politician and teacher), sought to intervene in the world around him. Therefore, dialogues are established with researchers like Teresinha Queiroz (2011), Vinicius Leão Araújo (2021), Thiago Krause and Rodrigo Goyena Soares (2022).
