Recepção da poesia erótica latina no séc. XIX: José Feliciano de Castilho e sua edição dos Amores, de Ovídio

This paper presents some results of the research project “José Feliciano de Castilho and classical tradition in the 19th Century”, financed by FAPESP. My aim is to offer a presentation to the “Grinalda Ovidiana”, a large commentary to Ovid’s Amores that ends up the paraphrastic translation of romantic poet Antônio Feliciano de Castilho published in Rio de Janeiro in 1858. The wise comments of José Feliciano de Castilho constitute a concrete evidence of the reception of ancient Latin Literature during the “Segundo Reinado”. Some considerations about how Castilho Antônio and Castilho José read and translated erotic classical poetry will be made too.
