“Aparecera em mim meu mestre” um estudo da heteronímia em Fernando Pessoa e uma leitura de O Guardador de Rebanhos de Alberto Caeiro

Abstract

It can be said that heteronymy in the poet Portuguese Fernando Pessoa is a singular case within Western literature. There are no records of other poets so multiple. From youth in South Africa to maturity in Lisbon, there are more than one hundred poets with different personalists and styles. Some cases come to the refinement of a complex biography. In this route, highlight to triad formed by Ricardo Reis, the Latinist, Álvaro de Campos, the modernist and especially Alberto Cairo, who would become, in the words of Fernando Pessoa himself, his master. Commonly, the letter sent to friend Adolfo Casais has been pointed out as the most symbolic and elucidative document of pessoana heteronymy. The epistle is not limited to the impressions of literature, but to an entire archaepic world through the mystical, philosophical and aesthetic view of the poet. In it Fernando Pessoa narrates the genesis of his heteronyms in what would be "the triumphal day of my life. Thus, we claim to Pessoa's epistolary texts, notably his letter to Adolfo Casais Monteiro, the nature of a literary text, in view of its aesthetic function and even its fictional condition. We also propose a closer reading of Alberto Caeiro's The Keeper of Herds, in what is his most famous poem. This work was carried out and developed through studies of existing literature on the proposed theme, for this we used works in reliable repositories of Universities in Brazil and Portugal, books, and other means such as CIELO, Google Scholar, among others. In order to have a better understanding, the study had several contributions and studies conducted by Moisés (2004-2008), Massuno (2010), Cavalcanti Filho (2012), Penteado (2012-2017), Bezerra (2016), among others that contributed in a valuable way to the construction of this study.
