The Mad Fiddler: unpublished documents

Description

Abstract:
A newly-found typescript of 47 pages of "The Mad Fiddler" belonging to Pessoa's niece, Manuela Nogueira, is described and compared to two other typescripts in the Pessoa Archive held at the National Library of Portugal. The place of the typescript in the history of the composition of the poems of "The Mad Fiddler" is relevant, since it contains a few variants and likely precedes the version considered to be definitive in the critical edition (Imprensa Nacional-Casa de Moeda, Lisbon, 1999)
Um dactiloscrito de "The Mad Fiddler" recém-encontrado, com 47 pp., pertencente a Manuela Nogueira, sobrinha de Pessoa, é descrito e comparado aos outros dois dactiloscritos existentes no espólio pessoano na Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. Resgata-se a importância desse terceiro dactiloscrito na gênese de "The Mad Fiddler", pois ele contém variantes e provavelmente precede a versão considerada como definitiva na edição crítica (Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda, Lisbon, 1999).
