Description

Abstract:: This tribute to the life of Pessoan scholar Hubert Jennings was written by Bridget Winstanley and Christopher Jennings, the daughter and son of Hubert and Irene Jennings. Bridget and Christopher wrote down their memories of a Hubert known only to them; Bridget edited the two texts into a single and somewhat chronological memoir about their father. The resulting text starts with an introduction in the first-person plural by both authors, then switches to the first-person singular – the voice of Bridget, which oftentimes quotes the memories of her brother Christopher, while presenting anecdotes of Hubert's life across various topics: First World War, love of nature, Hubert as a schoolmaster, religion, encounter with Pessoa, life in England, and Hubert's own memoir handwritten when he was already ninety years old.; Este tributo à vida do estudioso pessoano Hubert Jennings foi escrita por Bridget Winstanley e Christopher Jennings, a filha e o filho de Hubert e Irene Jennings. Bridget e Christopher escreveram suas memórias individuais de um Hubert que só eles conheceram; Bridget editou os dois textos, transformando-os num único memorial algo cronológico sobre o seu pai. O texto resultante principia por uma introdução em primeira pessoa do plural dos dois autores, passando à primeira pessoa do singular–a voz de Bridget, que freqüentemente cita as memórias do seu irmão Christopher, enquanto apresenta passagens da vida de Hubert percorrendo vários tópicos: Primeira Guerra Mundial, amor pela natureza, Hubert como professor, religião, encontro com Pessoa, vida na Inglaterra e o próprio memorial de Hubert, manuscrito quando ele já contava noventa anos de idade.
