Abstract

This essay assumes that the canonical review initiated in both Portuguese and Brazilian literature by the inclusion of the variant of homoerotic expression or sexual diversity, which barely insinuate itself in the current decades, is equivalent to those decisive moments in which, over approximately four-hundred years, poets, and critics (or commentators) of poetry have thought about the situation of the relationship between poetry-society and history in the context of Brazilian and Portuguese literature.
