The edge of one of many circles

This work in two volumes in honor of Irene Ramalho Santos gathers, from Portugal and abroad, the contributions of many colleagues and friends (most of them renowned scholars) who, over the years have worked on the same issues, entered into a dialogue with her and benefited from her learning and experience. The different sections reflect the diversity and depth of her academic interests: Anglo-American studies, Comparative studies, Poetics, Feminist studies, or Pessoa studies. It also includes a section with many original poems, a tribute from several Poets to whom Irene Ramalho Santos gave a voice or provided with a public forum in the International Meetings of Poets, which she launched in Coimbra over a span of 20 years.
