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 continually
remained in print, though often in questionable editions.
Always popular, Bocage has been gaining the esteem of
critics. The present groundbreaking edition is by far
superior to anything that came before. As of February 2006,
only the first, second and seventh volumes had appeared.

Anthology
of poems published by Pessoa under his own name, as well as
using the heteronyms Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and
Alvaro de Campos. Included as well is a "Carta de Fernando
Pessoa sobre a génese dos heterónimos" (pp. [201]-211) as
well as "Notas para a recordação do meu mestre Caeiro" (pp
212-6). There is a "Tabua bibliográfica" (pp. 217-8). The
introduction by Casais Monteiro occupies pp. 7-26. This
book was first published as Estudos
sôbre a poesia de Fernando Pessoa (1958). The
work was re-organized and enlarged by José Blanc de
Portugal and published by the Imprensa Nacional in 1985 and
again in 1999 under the present title, with correspondence
between Casais Monteiro and Pessoa added which does not
appear in the present edition. Adolfo Casais Monteiro
(1908-1972), poet, literary critic and educator, with
Leonardo Coimbra and Sant'Ana Dionísio, was part of the
editorial board of Aguia
(beginning with
number 33), and in 1931 joined with José Régio and João
Gaspar Simões in the editorship of Presença,
to which he had contributed since 1928, and for which he
continued as an editor until 1940, when that review ceased
publication due to internal dissension. Forced into exile
in 1954, he spent the rest of his life in Brazil. One of
the very few who appreciated Pessoa during Pessoa's
lifetime, along with Luís de Montalvor and João Gaspar
Simões, Casais Monteiro was influential in promoting the
reputation of Pessoa after Pessoa's death. On Casais
Monteiro see Fernando J.B. Martinho in Machado, ed.,
