Abstract

Camoens never wrote essays. Nonetheless, his poetry exhibits a diction proper of an essay, with a dialectic full of antinomies such as imperialism and anti-imperialism, discourse and counter-discourse. Iconoclastic (in the etymological sense of “destroyer of images”), Camoens’ poetry makes use of the cultural heritage of courtly love, Petrarchism and Neoplatonism as frames of reference that may as well be criticized. This paper postulates that the Camonian poetry conveys in the materiality of its writing, as much as an essay, a philosophical message.
