Abstract

Florbela Espanca's poetry continues to challenge the imagination of those who enjoy the genre and elicit studies from the most diverse perspectives due to the richness, originality and depth of experiences portrayed in it. The object of this work is to understand in the book Livro de mágoas (1919) the lyricism of love, disillusionment and death in the light of romanticism as well as the emotional conflict inherent in them and their discursive mecanisms. Specifically, it seeks to analyse the elements indicating the lyrical trajectory of the work based on romantic modulations; observe the psychological traits indicative of the emotional condition experienced by the author; study the discursive resources revealing the conflict manifested in the work. This is exploratory, explanatory research of an inductive nature; technically, it is a bibliographic investigation, content analysis and discursive textual analysis. This investigation has as its corpus nineteen sonnets selected from the aforementioned work that has only sonnets in its text. In the first chapter, nine sonnets are studied, in the second chapter eight poems are analysed and in the third chapter syntatic-discursive aspects of eight texts are commented on. Secondary sources such as reference books. scientific articles, periodical publications, master's dissertations are the research base that has as theoretical references Moisés (2020), Löwy and Sayre (1995), Bergez et al. (2006), Fiorin (1989, 2021), Fernandes (2013), Lakatos (2003), Prodanov (2013) among others.
