- Marino, a tragedy, part I - Datable fragments and listsPublication . Pittella, CarlosThe English dramas of Fernando Pessoa are virtually unknown. Pessoa’s archive includes fragments of Marino, Prometheus Rebound (or Revinctus), and Duke of Parma—three dramatic projects that remain almost entirely unpublished. This paper is the first of two aiming to present Marino, the earliest of these English dramas. The editorial introduction includes a brief background on Pessoa’s drama, a discussion of the state of the art of Pessoa’s English plays, notes on defining and dating the corpus of Marino, a commentary on the meter and versification employed by Pessoa, and an explanation of the transcription criteria and symbols used. The edition includes half of Marino’s corpus, featuring transcriptions, facsimiles, and a critical apparatus of: 23 datable fragments (14 of them previously unpublished) written between 1903–1908; an outline of the play likely made in 1906; and 13 lists in which Pessoa refers to the drama between 1903–1914.
- Marino, a tragedy, part 2—More fragments and dramatis personaePublication . Pittella, CarlosThere seems to be a continuum between Fernando Pessoa’s metadrama of heteronyms and his strict-sense plays, but this is more hypothesis than theory, because Pessoa’s dramas—notwithstanding the editions of Teatro Estático (2017) and Fausto (2018)—are still largely unknown. Written between 1903–1908, the tragedy of Marino is the earliest of Pessoa’s English plays. Half of the corpus—comprising datable fragments and lists—appeared in Pessoa Plural 18 as “Part 1.” The remaining corpus is transcribed here, from 48 documents (45 of them entirely unpublished) with the passages that could not yet be dated with precision. The edition is organized according to types of papers and plot. The dossier is preceded by an introduction discussing paper typology, plot, dramatis personae, and open questions. An Annex includes short or unattributed fragments, as well as newfound witnesses and an Errata of fragments edited in Part 1.
- Portugal, o primeiro aviso de Mensagem : 106 documentos inéditosPublication . Lopez, Nicolas; Pizarro, Jeronimo; Pittella, Carlos; Sousa, RuiQuando julgamos conhecer Fernando Pessoa, volta a surgir uma surpresa: desta vez relacionada com a génese de Mensagem, o livro mais fixo e consagrado do cânone pessoano. Esta obra, publicada em 1934 com um título finalizado na altura da composição tipográfica, chamava-se inicialmente Portugal – inscrição que remonta a 1910, data em que Pessoa, desiludido com a monarquia portuguesa e procurando imitar Luís de Camões, começou a escrever uma série de Cantos sob tal designação geral, embora sem reconstruir uma história pátria meramente linear ou celebratória (como costuma ser o caso em Pessoa, abundam ironia e complexidade). Arquivado entre fragmentos destinados a diversos dramas – entre os envelopes numerados 11 do espólio pessoano –, Portugal, o primeiro aviso de Mensagem, é revelado neste contributo, contando com mais de uma centena de documentos inéditos que orientem novas incursões críticas e convidem a uma redescoberta de Mensagem.
