Abstract

This article presents a reading of the poem O vate (The poet) written by Gonçalves Dias. The aim is to show the existence of a dialogue between that poem and the poetic theory developed by Victor Hugo in Preface to Cromwell. Such dialogue makes explicit the poets conscience of his role in Brazilian Romanticism and, at the same time, gives a universal dimension to his poetic work.
