   Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... P > Portuguese Literature A B C D ... Z The Portuguese language was developed gradually from the lingua rustica spoken in the countries which formed part of the Roman Empire and, both in morphology and syntax, it represents an organic transformation of Latin without the direct intervention of any foreign tongue. The sounds, grammatical forms, and syntactical types, with a few exceptions, are derived from Latin, but the vocabulary has absorbed a number of Germanic and Arabic words, and a few have Celtic or Iberian origin. Before the close of the middle ages the language threatened to become almost as abbreviated as French, but learned writers, in their passion for antiquity, re-approximated the vocabulary to Latin. The Renaissance commenced a separation between literary men and the people, between the written and spoken tongue, which with some exceptions lasted until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Then the Romanticists went back to tradition and drew on the poetry and every day speech of the people, and, thanks to the writings of such men as Almeida-Garrett and Camillo Castello Branco, the literary language became national once again.

   Extractions: P ortuguese Literature, literature of Portugal, written in Portuguese and other languages. It is noted for the sweetness of its lyrical verse and the biting wit of its satirical prose. Portuguese literature may be divided into four periods: 1200 to 1415, the age of the troubadours; 1415 to 1580, the humanistic flowering, rivaling that of Castile; 1580 to 1820, a time of stagnation; and 1820 to the present, the romantic revival. Until the 14 th century, Portuguese literature was a regional variety of that of the Iberian Peninsula, composed in the language of northwestern Spain by Galicians, Portuguese, and Castilians alike; down to the 17 th century many Portuguese also wrote in Castilian. Thus, the Portuguese claim authorship of Amadis of Gaul, the greatest Spanish novel of chivalry. Courtly troubadour poetry in Portugal began in the 13 th century with the reign of Alfonso III and reached its height during the reign of his son Diniz, an excellent troubadour himself. A few authors stand out in the 13 th century; the priests Airas Nunes and Joan Airas de Santiago, João Garcia de Guilhade, and the jogral (professional musician) Martin Codax.

Various writers fostered suadosismo, a cult of nostalgia and regret over an unrecoverable and mythic past. Later writing became more sensitive to developments in other countries. Fernando Pessoa In the early 1970s Portuguese literary circles were shaken by the publication of a volume of collected notes, stories, letters, and poems by Maria Isabel Barreno, Maria Teresa Horta, and Maria Velho da Costa. Banned because of its erotic and feminist nature, the book was allowed to circulate after the collapse of the Salazar dictatorship in Apr., 1974. In the United States the book was published as The Three Marias: New Portuguese Letters Saramago,

    Extractions: Front page of the newspaper JL - Jornal de Letras, Artes e Ideias , Year I, No. 1, from 3 to 16 March, 1981. The history of Portuguese literature can be understood on two separate levels: The progression over time of the cultivation of the Portuguese language for aesthetic and cultural purposes (which the theory of literary history calls literary evolution , e.g. Tynianov and the Russian Formalists); Consideration of the way in which this progression should best be seen, through the critical and methodological perspectives that determine its nature. At level , it should be stressed that: a) The evolution of a community has strong correlations with the evolution of neighbouring communities, or with the evolution of those communities with which it has close relations (in the Portuguese case, this meant certain European literatures, such as Spanish, French, Italian and others, depending on the particular periods and the types of relationship enjoyed; later, it was to mean Brazilian and North American literature, either because of their natural intercommunication or through an indirect relationship); b) uch evolution takes place within a much broader artistic, cultural, socio-political and economic framework

This great adventure resulted in an extremely rich travel literature and was responsible for the expansion of the national language The history of Portuguese literature accompanied the aesthetic evolution of western culture, emerging from a mediaeval Latin-based environment that served as the basis for the formation and perfection of literary language until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was also open to popular influences, particularly in the early days of historiography (whose most important figure was Fernão Lopes with his remarkable capacity for describing mass social movements) and in the theatre (whose most notable figure was Gil Vicente with his ability to communicate the traditional wisdom deriving from the spontaneity of the ordinary people):
