Resumo: | When we think about Walter Scott there are unavoidable questions, such as if he is still present among us, is "the great unknown" or if we have already forgotten him. In this article, besides some references to his biography and to the reception of his work, focusing the poem The Lady of the Lake, we attempt to answer those queries while being conscious that the works remain even when their authors are gone. The narrative poem The Lady of the Lake was published in 1810, when Scott was at the top of his career as a poet. It contains ballads, cantos, romances and a prayer, which inspired the famous Ave Maria to Schubert. It reports funereal ceremonies, an archery scene and references to a prophet and to a dream. Besides this epic facet, there is still the essential element of the love idylll. After our reflexion, we concluded that Scott's work should not be seen as a fad from the past and that we need not regret the vanishing of interest for this writer for we determined that he is still with us, but in a different way, and that now we have a more problematizing vision of his work that makes us understand that he was reacting to changes in his society and expressing his opposition to the dominant culture, themes that, after all, are post-modern. |

Walter Scott - sempre presente ou desconhecido e esquecido?When we think about Walter Scott there are unavoidable questions, such as if he is still present among us, is "the great unknown" or if we have already forgotten him. In this article, besides some references to his biography and to the reception of his work, focusing the poem The Lady of the Lake, we attempt to answer those queries while being conscious that the works remain even when their authors are gone. The narrative poem The Lady of the Lake was published in 1810, when Scott was at the top of his career as a poet.

Neste artigo, além de fazermos algumas referências à biografia e à recepção da sua obra, focando sobretudo o poema The Lady of the Lake, procuraremos responder a essas interrogações conscientes de que as obras permanecem mesmo quando os seus autores há muito desapareceram. O poema narrativo The Lady of the Lake foi publicado em 1810quando o autor estava no topo da sua carreira como poeta. Contém baladas, cantos e romances, e uma oração, que inspirou a Schubert a sua famosa Ave Maria. Relata ainda cerimónias fúnebres, uma cena de tiro ao arco, a actividade de um profeta e um sonho. Aeste aspecto épico, junta-se ainda o elemento essencial do idílio amoroso. Após a nossa investigação, concluímos que a produção literária de Scott não deve ser vista apenas como um vestígio do passado e que não temos e lamentar o desaparecimento do interesse por este escritor pois constatamos que ele continua a existir, mas de forma diferente, e que temos agora uma visão mais complexa que nos faz compreender que ele estava a reagir às mudanças na sociedade e a demonstrar a sua oposição à cultura dominante, temas afinal tão pós-modernos.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2018-06-01T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2018.3001oai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/3001Gaudium Sciendi; No 14 (2018); 171-188Gaudium Sciendi; n. 14 (2018); 171-1882182-760510.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2018.n14reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gaudiumsciendi/article/view/3001https://doi.org/10.34632/gaudiumsciendi.2018.3001https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/gaudiumsciendi/article/view/3001/2899Direitos de Autor (c) 2018 Maria Laura Bettencourt Pireshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPires, Maria Laura Bettencourt2022-09-20T11:32:38Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/3001Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:49:34.161770Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
