6 Outubro 2016, 10:00 Helena Carvalhão Buescu

Luís de Camões as a writer of both Epic and Lyric poetry; his life and education; his literary work as a combined result of learned culture and lived experience.

Camões' lyric poems aligned with two different traditions: the popular and peninsular, through songs with motto, and the erudite and italian, through sonnets and odes. 
Reading and discussion of "My errors, cruel fortune and ardent love"; "Oh let that sad and joyful dawn"; "The sky, the earth, the wind blowing softly..."; "With the pitcher on her head" and "That lovely slave".
