Abstract

The dialogue with Camões is frequent practice in Portuguese literature. Less common, but very productive, is to transform Camões in character. Cesário Verde, in his poem “O sentiment dum ocidental” (1880), talk with Camões exploring a powerful topos of understanding and re-creation: the disease, present, with different meanings, in the poet of the sixteenth century. The exploitation of Camões by this mode appears as a gesture of meeting with and deconstruction of the poet, and will be implemented by various authors of the twentieth century onwards, as Jorge de Sena and Armando Silva Carvalho, among others.
