Main masterpiece: Menina e Moça
Historical period in literature:
Classical literature, period of Renaissance, Humanism, Classicism
The text represents a convergence
of fictional topics, whether in terms of literary history (adding ingredients of
the novel of chivalry, the
pastoral novel and
the sentimental novel), both in terms of
content (by conversion to a meeting place, feminine and lamentable, of the Girl – who begins the book with a evocation
monologue of movement and change of life – with a
Lady, with whom she discusses stories of
unhappy love affairs, which are inserted in the central action of
fiction).
Love, nature, change and distance are the constant subject matters of this book, the first
in Portuguese literature to come loose
of the conventions of the coeval fiction to assume the status of feminine narrative of loneliness and yearning.
