 LUIZ VAZ DE CAMOENS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Considered by some as Portugal's greatest poet, Luis Vaz de Camões (1524-1580), wrote dozens of sonnets and other poems, but is best remembered for his Lusiadas, an epic of national identity.
Amorous, quarrelsome and unsuccessful in any wordly sense, Camões lost an eye during his military service in Ceuta, Morocco; served in India and was deported from China, struggling back in 1570 to Lisbon, infirm and penniless.
Glorifying the events in Vasco da Gama's voyages and Portugal's history, Os Lusíadas provided a vigorous and realistic narrative by someone who knew the countries at first hand.

The New Woman in Fiction and in Fact: Fin de Siecle \ Feminisms Palgrave/St. Martin's, 2000, 224 pp., ISBN \ 0-312-23490-2, $59.95 Description: A cultural icon of the fin de siecle, the New Woman was not one figure but several.
By identifying an array of responses to modern life and experience, the essays inaugurate a revisionist view of the period and reveal that modern English artists and art were profoundly involved with questions about the relationship between artistic tradition and the circumstances and subjects of modern life and modern art practice.
By situating the efforts of individual artist and academies within the context of a network of global proportions, new insights are gained into the ways in which institutions of art helped shape the nineteenth century's view of itself as an age of equipoise and civilization amidst the turmoil of rapid social and cultural change.

This course begins with a brief overview of medieval literary traditions as background for a more general survey of Renaissance literature in Portugal (e.g., cantigas de amigo and the medida velha lyrics of Camoes).
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).
