Abstract

This research has the aim of proposing approaches between the authors Agostinho Neto (Angolan) and Solano Trindade (Brazilian). Literary and political similarities during their life spans were considered while comparisons were being made. Both poets dedicated themselves to literature and, also, to social and political causes during their lives. The research focuses on the comparative analysis between the texts Sagrada Esperança (1985), from Neto, and Trindade\'s Cantares ao meu povo (1961). We are going to adopt the Négritude as a theme and its relation with revolutionary and/or utopian romantism as a focus of comparison in order to found our research, having the studies performed by Michael Löwy and Robert Sayre as a guide. By working the texts\' convergence out, we believe it is possible to notice that there are romantic survivals that are highlighted by the Black Movement, what can be verified in the works selected to this research. Romantism is faced as a \"vision about the world\", so it is free from tieds of time. While vizualizing that echoes from this romantism take part in Négritude, we believe it is possible to verify that the works from Agostinho Neto and Solano Trindade belong to a type of poetry in which the authors, from their verses, are concerned about provoking the revolutionary action that is able to generate tranformations.
