Questão do Palheiro: Coimbrões e Lisboetas

A satirical sequence of verses and interludes that stages a local literary quarrel between Coimbra and Lisbon circles, lampooning critics and poets through caricature, epigram, and parody. Numbered sections recount comic encounters, mock reviews, and pamphlet-like rejoinders, blending anecdote, playful boasting, and self-aware confession. The work alternates between spirited ridicule of critical fashion and humorous reflections on authorship, reputation, and factional rivalry, using colloquial bite and theatrical comic set pieces to turn petty disputes into poetic entertainment.
