  The Lusiads (Oxford World's Classics)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Though in form - rhyming octaves - de Camoes imitates the giants of vernacular epic poetry - Pulci, Boiardo, and Ariosto in particular - he lacks the poetic dexterity which allowed the aforementioned authors to push the limits of epic poetry, not only in terms of content, but also with regard to style.
While one must admit that de Camoes' subject matter is truly revolutionary, his style is pedantic and uninspired.
Despite the fact that succor never arrived, nevertheless de Camoes' poem is a quaint little work marking the beginnings of colonialism, the Portuguese penchant for daring navigation, and the subsequent attempt to construct the Portuguese national identity around nautical explorations.

The focus of the course, however, will be the literary and ideological influence of Luiz Vaz de Camoes in the articulation of modern forms of nationhood; especially in Brazil.
Because the epic is particularly well suited to the colonial agenda, the major works of study will include not only Luis Vaz de Camoes' Os Lus¡adas (1572), but also selections from other works of this genre, especially as related to Brazil: from Bento Teixeira Pinto's Prosopop‚ia (1601) to Jos‚ Basilio da Gama's O Uruguai (1769).
Further selections from Camoes and other writers of the Portuguese Renaissance will be indicated in class, placed on reserve or provided during course sessions.
