In addition, the complete text of Campbell's pioneering biocritical study of Pessoa is published here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Monteiro\u003c\/b\u003e professor of English and of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown University, is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Presence of Camões: Influences on the Literature of England, America, and Southern Africa.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 8.81 x 5.73 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 09, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757764968736,"sku":"9780813120539","price":51.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/317c598392415cba2821a1a341454a85.webp?v=1780111277","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/presence-of-pessoa-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
