Abstract

The outset of this study befalls from the presence of some dramatic works at Fernando Pessoa’s private library, and discusses the reception of those texts through the side notes analysis as well as the critical fragments and texts written by the poet about those pieces and its respective authors. The present work intends to present the impressions resulting from the first phase of an ongoing investigation around the poet’s literary background regarding the universe of drama and its respective critical fortune. The main hypothesis surrounding this investigation is that Pessoa could have grasped some elements – such as lyricism, tragic, inertia, symbolism, subjectivism – presented through these pieces in order to build his perspective as a dramatic poet.
