Byron e o byronismo no centro da epistémê moderna

This paper aimed to present the identity of the so-called Byronian lyric self (whether in the work of the English poet himself or in the work of authors directly and knowingly influenced by him) with the figure of man, epicenter of the modern episteme, as presented by Foucault in his writings of the 1960s. The construction of an I whose characteristics coincide with Foucault's description of man, as notoriously presented in The Order of Things, was thus shown in The Prophecy of Dante, which served as our main analytical axis, as well as in other works in verse.
