Memoria y legado de la métrica clásica en la poesía brasileña

In this article, we aim to show that the memory and legacy of the classical concepts of meter, verse, and rhythm in Brazilian poetry underwent a resignification—that is, a dynamic and dialogical process derived from the adaptation of classical versification techniques to the reality of modern languages. To this end, we briefly outline some considerations on the reception of classical metric terms in Portuguese versification treatises and present two case studies, analyzing the poems A tempestade by Antônio Gonçalves Dias (1823–1864) and A minha resolução by Laurindo José da Silva Rabello (1826–1864), exploring the rhythmic composition techniques of their verses.
