Abstract

Broadly speaking, we intend to map the presence of the baroque poetry in the school handbooks and anthologies from the second half of the nineteenth-century until nowadays. For this, we focus in the analysis of the critical excerpts and comentaries in an anthology in which the compositions of the baroque period stand out: Textos Literários – Séculos XVII e XVIII, by Maria Ema Tarracha Ferreira. It has been published for the first time in 1967, and its selection of poems was the source for one of the latest handbooks in the Portuguese Literature school curriculum (Aula Viva, 2010). Aiming at understanding to what extent the school canon reflects the evolution of the literary history and criticism, this study will ultimately lead us to inquire about a definition of the Portuguese literature canon.
