Objectives

This course aims to study Portuguese literature within the timelines proposed for this undergraduate degree, yet creating a flexible intelligibility model in order to look at it in light of the complementarity between diachronic and synchronic; of the historical-literary contexts of the movements, “schools” and aesthetic trends; of the current reception of selected authors and works.
