Resumo

Este ensaio analisa as representações dos pescadores portugueses em Gloucester, Massachusetts, pelo aclamado escritor britânico, Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), durante a sua denominada fase americana, em 1892, isto é, enquanto lá viveu durante uma temporada, assim como a adaptação cinematográfica do seu romance, Captains Courageous, e as recordações de T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) desta vila piscatória e da sua praia quando lá passou férias e, mais tarde, imortalizou no seu poema, The Four Quartets, em 1943.
