Porto: Editorial Inova, 1973. 250 pp.; 195 mm. First edition. Eduardo Lourenço (Almeida, 1923 - Lisbon, 2020), essayist and philosopher, one of the major figures of 20th-century Portuguese thought, distinguished with the Camões (1996) and Pessoa (1996) prizes, built over more than half a century an indispensable body of work for the interpretation of national culture and identity, of which The Labyrinth of Saudade (1978) and Fernando, King of Our Bavaria (1986) are landmarks. Fernando Pessoa Revisited: A Structuring Reading of the Drama in People , whose central idea was presented by the author in 1967 in a communication to the Cervantes Circle in Nice, is considered his most daring essay on Pessoa, proposing an original interpretation of heteronymy based on critical dialogue with João Gaspar Simões and the hypothesis of a founding tension between Pessoa and Walt Whitman. It became a classic of Pessoa criticism and paved the way for the models of interpretation that followed. The work had a second edition in 1981, with the addition of the text ”Singular pr(o)émio”, and third and fourth editions, in 2000 and 2003, under the title Pessoa Revisited ; it was translated into French in 1990 and into Spanish in 2006. Sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
