Description
- Abstract:
- Collection of papers relating more or less directly to the theme of Sebastianism, a Portuguese messianic tradition that predicted the triumphant return of King Sebastian (1554-1578), and which appears in some of F. Pessoa's writings, notably the collection Mensagem (Message). Jennings's seems to have planned a book project around Pessoa's "The Message of Fernando Pessoa", but he later transferred some relevant papers and translations to other folders (see, for instance, "Message and Caeiro Poems" and "File-I"). It may be that the project that took shape as The Poet with Many Faces (a study of F. Pessoa's life and work) was originally conceived as structured around Pessoa's "Message" (both in reference to his book by that name and to what Jennings termed "what he means for Portugal" and "what he means for the world").
