Pessoa invented short-story writers, translators, philosophers, an astrologer, a baron who committed suicide, and a hunchbacked, lovelorn woman by the name of Maria Jose - more than 72 creations, by some accounts.
He invented a prolific critic, whose writings in English promoted Portuguese literature. Pessoa not only created poets he also gave them their champions.
He created poets who wrote in French and in English, one of whom wrote sonnets that were described by the Times of London as more Shakespearean than Shakespeare. The fourth was "Fernando Pessoa," another invention, according to the author.Įach of Pessoa's writers was distinctive and different. One invented writer was a doctor and classicist a second was an unlettered genius, a paesano who lived in the country a third was a naval engineer and bisexual dandy who traveled the world. Arguably, the four greatest poets in the Portuguese language were all Pessoa using different names.
