Selected English Poems

Meer over het boek

The collection showcases Fernando Pessoa's lesser-known English poems, written under early heteronyms like Alexander Search and Charles Robert Anon. These works, while not as celebrated as his later masterpieces, offer a glimpse into his modernist evolution. Educated in English and fully bilingual, Pessoa's candid themes may have limited their exposure in more conservative British circles. This volume aims to introduce these unique poems to an English-speaking audience, highlighting their significance in Pessoa's literary journey.
