Cesário verde e o sentimento de um moderno

Abstract

The text reads the modernity contradictions through woman’s vision in Cesário Verde’s poems. Representing the emergent working class, the woman is the object of the poet who sees her without her feminine attributes. At the same time, he looks to the bourgeois woman as a product of the contemporary progress. The lexical choices of the poet show the different aspects of the urban space at the end of nineteenth-century.
