Post-Imperial Cames

It has been more difficult to steal Camoes from this critic Faria e Sousa] than to steal him from the Portuguese. The former is not necessarily a goal in itself (though, again fortunately, it is not up to me to read the minds of all Camoes scholars). The latter is most desirable. Hence the importance of a colloquium on post-imperial Camoes, in English and in America. It is fitting to recall that, ironically, Faria e Sousa's commentaries were written in Spanish and published in Spain, when Portugal was under Spanish rule. It is not a question of now showing Portugal (or its surrogate, the...
