Extended program
After a quick overview of Portuguese literature of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth century, framing it in the historical events that marked
the society of that period, we will go to the in-depth study of the work of
two of the greatest Portuguese writers, Fernando Pessoa and Mário de
Sá-Carneiro. Both authors have not only renewed the literature of their
country but have fully reflected the crisis of values of the early decades
of the twentieth century. Friends and peers crossed parallel paths but at
the same time converging, entering the labyrinth of consciousness and
demolishing the very concept of monolithic identity.
