Resumo
Poesias Eroticas, Burlescas, e Satyricas by Manuel Maria Barbosa du Bocage, published in 1860, is a collection of provocative and irreverent Portuguese poems excluded from the 1853 Lisbon edition of Bocage’s works due to their anti-religious and morally controversial content.
The collection includes poems like Ribeirada, a satirical pastoral poem depicting the lascivious exploits of Ribeiro, a man endowed with exaggerated physical attributes, guided by the god Priapus to a doomed marriage marked by betrayal.
A Manteigui portrays a woman’s insatiable desires and her husband’s complicity, while A Empreza Nocturna narrates a nocturnal romantic escapade with vivid, sensual imagery.
