Subject matter
To know Camões is not only to know a literary genius but to possess a set of references and a reservoir of
meanings that our culture continually draws on. Classes in Camões Studies combine historical and literary,
analysis, examining a Camões poem or play as an historical artifact, a transhistorical text, and a script for
contemporary creativity.
This programme offers an unrivalled opportunity for the study of Camões and his time at postgraduate level. It
develops a critical understanding of Camões contribution to literary, scientific and theatrical history, and the
place his works occupy in todays cultural landscape, and provides a solid foundation for research at a higher
level.
