Meyer, from the Arpoador to beyond the Taprobana

Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the “Elegia do Arpoador”, included in Augusto Meyer’s Últimos poemas (1955), along with his study Camões, o bruxo (1958), and the dialogue it establishes with a certain neoclassical tendency that marked Brazilian lyric poetry in the 1940s and 1950s.
