Basílio da Gama

Basílio da Gama (São João del-Rei, April 10, 1740 — Lisbon, July 31, 1795) was a Brazilian author with a Portuguese father and Brazilian born mother. He was a member of the Society of Jesus until the order was disbanded and was later accused of Jansenism. He wrote the epic poem "O Uraguai" which is a noted example of the Arcadianism style of Brazilian literature.
