INTRODUÇÃO AO CARÁTER MISTO DOS GÊNEROS POÉTICOS E RETÓRICOS
Abstract
The article presents some preliminary thoughts on the presence and continuous ascent of mixed genres of poems written in the 17th century in Portuguese. Even conventional poetic genres – an imitation of ancient model authors, like Virgilio – were borrowed and interwoven in a blend of textual components of other genres; and thus retained their places in the convention of poetry as prescribed by ancient and modern rhetoric. The article features a brief view of the concepts of genre, mixed genre, and relations between poetics and rhetoric.
