Rosalia de Castro (1837-1885) is considered the founder of modern
Galician literature. She wrote three major books of poetry: two in
Galician, Galician Songs and New Leaves, and one in Spanish, On the
Banks of the Sar. Nourished by the popular songs the author heard
around her, Galician Songs was first published in 1863 and
dedicated on 17 May, the date that a hundred years later, in 1963,
would become and has remained Galician Literature Day, when the
work of a particular Galician author is celebrated. Galician Songs
marks the first full publication of any of Rosalia de Castro's
books of poetry in English and is accompanied by a translator's
introduction that argues for the importance and contemporaneity of
the author's work and poetics, not just in Galician, but in
English.
