Abstract

A group of six otherwise disparate items presenting personal critical perceptions, ideas or speculations concerning Pessoa and his work involving the composer Schumann; his particular use of heteronyms; his discovery of the notion of “man thinking” as the basis for his “drama em gente”; 'Livro do Desassossego'; and evidence to suggest that it is useful to consider him as belonging on the autism spectrum.
