La Semaine, O Épico Bíblico Sobre a Criação

Abstract

The epic Renaissance La semaine (1578), by writer Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas, was published during the French religious wars. In his long poem, the poet addressed the creation of the world, paraphrasing the book of Genesis. In this article, we explore, through Epic Semiotization of Discourse (SILVA) and Epic Poems: Reading Strategies (RAMALHO), analytical elements that contribute to the study of the genre.
