Title: Erotism in the poetry of Yde Blumenschein and Florbela Spank Authors: Jales, Luiz Fábio Alves Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the erotic in the poetry of two writers of the last century, the Brazilian Yde (Adelaide) Blumenschein and the Portuguese Florbela Espanca, seeking to show them as worshippers, in the literature of their respective countries, of a theme considered taboo: the expression of female sexuality, at a time (first decades of the twentieth century) marked by moralism and hypocrisy of social conventions that prevented women from manifesting themselves on this subject. After a brief account of the condition of women throughout the history and presentation of biographical data of both authors, an explanation will be made about literary eroticism as a taboo theme and then analyzed two poems, one by Blumenschein and the other by Espanca, written in confessional tone, through which they give free flow to their erotic impulses, thus challenging the repression imposed by patriarchal society of the time and acting as precursors of freedom of expression of female thought. The theoretical contribution was based on the concepts developed by Bataille, Paz and Alberoni on eroticism, as well as on the considerations of scholars regarding the literature of female authorship.
