About this person
A major exponent of Brazilian Romanticism and of the literary tradition known as "Indianism", he is famous for writing "Canção do Exílio", the short narrative poem I-Juca-Pirama, the unfinished epic Os Timbiras, and many other nationalist and patriotic poems that would award him posthumously with the title of national poet of Brazil. He was also an avid researcher of Native Brazilian languages and folklore.
