Autorenporträt

Publicada apenas um ano antes da morte do autor, a obra trata do glorioso passado de Portugal de forma apologética e tenta encontrar um sentido para a antiga grandeza e a decadência existente na época em que o livro foi escrito. Glorifica acima de tudo o estilo camoniano e o valor simbólico dos heróis do passado, como os Descobrimentos portugueses. É apontando as virtudes portuguesas que Fernando Pessoa acredita que o país deva se "regenerar", ou seja, tornar-se grande como foi no passado através da valorização cultural da nação.
