Abril: revista do Núcleo de Estudos de Literatura Portuguesa e Africana da UFF, Niterói, v. 7, n. 15, p. 127-141, nov. 2015.e- 1984-2090http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/19742In this paper we propose to analyze the complex relationships between João Cabral de Melo Neto and Portuguese literature and the way he fits in this literature through Cesário Verde, whose poetry is stripped of rhetorical ornaments and focuses, among all the senses, a vision of reality. These characteristics made the author of Serial recognize himself in Cesário Verde’s poetry and consider him as the greatest Portuguese poet.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/João CabralPoetic traditionCesário VerdeTradição poéticaArtigo10.22409/abriluff.v7i15.29874
