Abstract

In this article, we propose to read O Uraguay, considering theological-political presuppositions and poetic-rhetorical conventions, under the influence of the Law of Good Reason, promulgated by king d. José I in 1769 – in the same year in which the epic poem of Basilio da Gama was published in Lisbon. In This approach we relativize categories like authorship and literature. We also problematize concepts of truth and originality and discuss conceptions of nativism and nationalism in the seventeenth-century Portuguese-Brazilian universe.
