The Presence of Pessoa
The University Press of Kentucky (Verlag)
978-0-8131-2053-9 (ISBN)
George Monteiro provides refreshingly new interpretations of Pessoa's Mensagem ( Message) and the modernist novella 0 Banqueiro Anarquista ( The Anarchist Banker). But he is primarily interested in tracing Pessoa's influence on a wide range of contemporary writers.
Among those Monteiro finds putting Pessoa's work to their own surprising -- and sometimes comic -- uses are Joyce Carol Oates, Allen Ginsberg, John Wain, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and earlier poets including Thomas Merton, Edouard Roditi, and Roy Campbell. In addition, the complete text of Campbell's pioneering biocritical study of Pessoa is published here for the first time.
George Monteiro professor of English and of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown University, is the author of The Presence of Camoes: Influences on the Literature of England, America, and Southern Africa.
