Abstract

[This chapter explores the critical reception of Vasco Mouzinho de Quevedo Castelo Branco’s poetic work in a Portuguese patrimonial context, examined against a patriotic reading of Luís de Camões. The Estado Novo (New State) dictatorship regime’s cultural policies sought to affirm a clear sense of a Lusitan nation (and, importantly, race), reaching its zenith in the Exposição do Mundo Português (Portuguese World Exhibition) of 1940. This affirmation rests largely on a historical discourse of Portugal as insistently distinct from Spain (a ‘non-Spain’), with an emphasis on the regime’s ahistorical interpretation of the 1640 Restoration from the Iberian Dual Monarchy (1580–1640). Quevedo’s work is both vilified and exalted by the regime’s critical reception of his choice of subject, language and style. Ultimately, the promotion of an ideological propaganda impacted on the merit of the poet, who was judged by questions of patriotism, rather than by literary critical appreciation.]
