Sentidos do não-sentido : contributos para uma reflexão sobre a escrita nonsense
Description
The study of literary nonsense, as far as it can be reflected in Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, finds important counterpoints in the questions raised by the theatre of the absurd, as expressed in Beckett's plays. Therefore, the relationship between nonsense narrative writing and the theatre of the absurd is analysed both in terms of literary theory and literary history; thereby the main characteristics of evolution in the thought and use of poetical language are shown, from fln-de siècle post romantic poetics to a wide range of tendencies in twentieth century art.
