Pessoa's Wyatt

Description

Abstract:
Pessoa's use of the early pseudonym Frederick Wyatt is a slant allusion to the English poem Sir Thomas Wyatt. In this brief study I review the figure of Thomas Wyatt, who occupies and uneasy place at the beginning of English poetry, and discuss possible connections with Pessoa's fictitious author.
O uso do pseudônimo Frederick Wyatt por Fernando Pessoa é uma alusão oblíqua ao poeta inglês Sir Thomas Wyatt. Neste breve estudo, revejo a importância de Thomas Wyatt, que ocupa um lugar instável nos princípios da poesia Inglesa, e discuto as possíveis conexões com o autor fictício de Pessoa.
