Versos de orgulho de uma mulher indecorosa: Dor e redenção em Florbela Espanca

According to José Régio, the personality of Florbela Espanca was marked by an attitude extremely proud of itself. In her life, the artist sank a critical reception that was quite prejudiced, dictated by a series of prejudices attributed to the woman. Starting from this facet, with the awareness that the Poetry of Florbela Espanca has several interpretative strands, we propose a brief study of the sonnets Versos de orgulho and O meu orgulho, to highlight two creative forces that permeate the poetic of the writer: Pain and Redemption.
