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".
