Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Portuguese Literature Nearly a century ago it was said of Portuguese literature that it might be compared with "une de ces iles dont les navigateurs ont vu les cotes mais dont on ignore completement les richesses" - a land of the Hesperides, with the golden apples unreached. Since then much has been done, but it must be confessed that English critics have taken little part in reconnoitring this uncharted country. Yet Portuguese literature repays study, revealing beneath an appearance of dulness much to interest and delight, many noble fruits in its occasionally dreary charnecas. The fascinating cantigas de amigo of King Diniz, the prose of King Duarte, the lyrical autos of Gil Vicente, the exquisite eclogues of the quinhentistas, remain all but unknown to English readers. In Portugal there has been a certain reaction against the neglect and indifference which have allowed so many rare editions and valuable manuscripts to perish. The brunt of the work has been borne by Senhor Theophilo Braga (born in 1843). It is easy to be repelled by those of his writings which deal with literary criticism.
