Abstract

Based on the critical work of Jorge de Sena about the literary creation of Fernando Pessoa, this project intends to investigate the construction of that which postulates be the key concept of senian's readings of Pessoa: the notion of evolution, which characterized the variegated procedures writing of the poet. Based on this concept something recurrent in Pessoa's critical fortune, are discussed the aesthetic, stylistic, and psychological aspects that would be linked to the evolutionary itinerary of Pessoa, and the value criteria that guide the different theoretical interpretations of this phenomenon.(AU)
