He wrote a considerable amount of lyric poetry and at least three dramas, but is best remembered for his epic poem \u003cem\u003eOs Lus僘das\u003c\/em\u003e (The Lusiads), which set out to be, and succeeded in being, a Portuguese epic of the nation that can stand alongside Virgil's \u003cem\u003eAeneid\u003c\/em\u003e. As Jonathan Griffin ably demonstrates in this volume, however, his shorter works, mostly sonnets and \u003cem\u003eredondilhas\u003c\/em\u003e (roundels), are fine lyrics and ought to be given the same serious attention that the epic receives as of right. Little is known of Cams' life, other than what we see \"reported\" in the Lusiads, but we do know that he served as a common soldier in the East, serving in India, Africa and Macau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42705664606271,"sku":"9781848616769","price":23.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/a98a8741446d4d062ce311f9327eb0eb.webp?v=1765037582","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/selected-shorter-poems-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
