I'm in need fiction texts from Brazil from the 1900s. They can't be from Portugal, they can't be from before 1900, and they have to be literature (novels, short stories, or plays). I've already tried the following sources:
-- LacioWeb (Most of the fiction texts are actually from the 1800s, though ~1,000,000 are from the 1900s - I already have these)
-- Borba-Ramsey corpus (I already have ~400k words from novels/short stories and ~200k from plays. Unfortunately, there are no original sources for the text codes: PAM, BH, etc)
-- http://lael.pucsp.br/~tony/ <http://lael.pucsp.br/~tony/> ; http://www.tonyberber.f2s.com/ <http://www.tonyberber.f2s.com/>
-- http://www.linguateca.pt/textos_port.html <http://www.linguateca.pt/textos_port.html>
-- ELRA and Oxford Text Archive
-- The usual collections of e-texts (e.g. http://alecrim.inf.ufsc.br/bdnupill/ <http://alecrim.inf.ufsc.br/bdnupill/> , http://www.bn.br <http://www.bn.br> [Biblioteca Digital], http://www.bibvirt.futuro.usp.br/index.php <http://www.bibvirt.futuro.usp.br/index.php> ). Most of these texts are from 1800s, and are usually very similar texts at each site.
Thanks in advance for any info that you might have.
