Abstract(s)
Fradique Mendes detém na ficção queirosiana um estatuto muito peculiar, que se aproxima tangencialmente, no enquadramento da moderna investigação
literária, do complexo fenómeno da heteronímia. Passando, na sua gestação literária, por diferentes fases, a figura acabará por surgir à perplexidade dos leitores como um desconcertante exercício de recriação literária de identidade, onde se cruzam, ambiguamente, desígnios doutrinais e motivações inconscientes. Muito revelador nos parece, neste reelaborar transfigurador de uma alteridade artística idealmente planeada, a presença obsidiante de ecos da cultura clássica greco-latina, quer se trate de meras alusões a entidades mítico-literárias, quer menções mais estruturadas a referentes históricos, ou a personalidades da cultura e das artes. Tomando por critério as numerosas referências clássicas explicitadas em A Correspondência de Fradique Mendes,
quer no espaço narrativo do relato memorialístico do biógrafo, quer nos exercícios epistolográficos da figura ficcional Carlos Fradique Mendes, propomo-nos esclarecer a importância relativa que assumiriam para o autor, na conformação de um modelo exemplar de personalidade, os modelos da Antiguidade Clássica.
Accordingly to the framework of modern literary research and within Queirosian fiction Fradique Mendes holds a very peculiar status, tangentially approaching the complex phenomenon of heteronomy. Passing through different phases alonghis literary gestation, the figure will eventually rise to the amazement of the readersas a confusing exercise of literary re-creation of identity, where doctrinal purposesand unconscious motivations ambiguously intersect. This transfiguring reworking ofan artistic ideally planned otherness seems very revealing, as the haunting presenceof echoes of Greek and Latin classical culture, both as mere allusions to mythical-literary entities, and as more structured historical references, or even personalities of culture and of the arts. Taking as criteria the many classical references explained in ACorrespondência de Fradique Mendes,both in memorial accounts of the biographer andepistolary exercises of Carlos Fradique Mendes as a fictional character, we propose toclarify the relative importance of some models from Classic Antiquity in forming anexemplary model of personality.
