Daniel Pires has devoted his usual graceful erudition and serious hard work to the thorny problem of Bocage. Barbosa du Bocage (1765 - 1805), an accomplished Arcadian poet (known as Amano Sadino) with strong romantic tendencies, wrote a great deal of occasional verse. Bell thought he was capable of much greater things. The poet was an infantry soldier, but deserted at Damão and spent some time wandering through China, Macao and Goa before returning to Portugal. Tried and imprisoned on the basis of the anti- monarchical and anti - Catholic tone of his poems, when he was released he spent the rest of his life mostly doing translations, at which he was quite skilled. His work has always remained in print, though often in questionable editions. Always popular, Bocage has been gaining in the esteem of critics. The present groundbreaking edition is by far superior to anything that came before. As of May 2005, only the first and seventh volumes had appeared.
