Abstract

While to many scholars the concept of utopia would not be valid to the Middle Ages, this study tries to apply it to the Canto de Amaro that, as the More's Utopia, describes a outopia (nowhere) and a eutopia (happy place). It seems a metaphoric description of the Alcobaça Abbey, where the narrative was produced in vernacular Portuguese at the end of the fourteenth century.
