An essential chronological framework for students of Portuguese
literature. This companion volume offers an introduction to
European Portuguese literature for university-level readers. It
consists of a chronological overview of Portuguese literature from
the twelfth century to the present day, by some ofthe most
distinguished literary scholars of recent years, leading into
substantial essays centred on major authors, genres or periods, and
a study of the history of translations. It does not attempt an
encyclopaedic coverage of Portuguese literature, but provides
essential chronological and bibliographical information on all
major authors and genres, with more extensive treatment of key
works and literary figures, and a particular focus on the modern
period. It is unashamedly canonical rather than thematic in its
examination of central authors and periods, without neglecting
female writers. In this way it provides basic reference materials
for students beginning the study of Portuguese literature, and for
a wider audience looking for general or specific information. The
editors have made a principled decision to exclude both Brazilian
and African literature, which demand separate treatment. STEPHEN
PARKINSON, CLAUDIA PAZOS ALONSO and T. F. EARLE are all members of
the Sub-Faculty of Portuguese at the University of Oxford.
