Abstract

An analysis of Machado de Assis’ play Tu só, tu, puro amor, in order to highlight “Machado de Assis’ Camões”. Machado’s Camões is not yet the celebrated author of Os Lusíadas; he is not necessarily the future author of the greatest epic poem of the Portuguese language, inscribed with honor in the tradition of Western literature, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Homeric poems, with Virgil, Dante and Milton. Machado’s Camões, it should be reiterated, is not necessarily the author of Os Lusíadas.
