Description
- Abstract:
- The Greek Anthology, in the edition and translation of William Roger Paton, was the model for the genre, mood, title, and often the style of Fernando Pessoa's Inscriptions (1921). Pessoa left considerable marginalia in his copy of Paton's translation, which indicate the poems he was particularly drawn to, mainly the epitaphic poems of the seventh book of the Anthology. In imitating these poems, Pessoa was participating in a widespread Victorian and Edwardian practice, which a few Anglo-American modernists also continued.
- A Greek Anthology (Antologia Grega), editada e traduzida por William Roger Paton, serviu de modelo em gênero, tom, título e, frequentemente, estilo para a obra Inscriptions (1921) de Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa deixou uma considerável marginália em sua cópia da tradução de Paton, indicando os poemas que mais lhe chamaram a atenção, principalmente os epitáfios do sétimo livro da Antologia. Ao imitar estes poemas, Pessoa tomava parte em uma difundida prática vitoriana e eduardiana, que alguns modernistas Anglo-Americanos também continuaram.
