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.

Eighteen short essays by the most distinguished international
scholars examine Pessoa's influences, his dialogues with other
writers and artistic movements, and the responses his work has
generated worldwide. Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa claimed that
he did not evolve, but rather travelled. This book provides a state
of the art panorama of Pessoa's literary travels, particularly in
the English-speaking world. Its eighteen short, jargon-free essays
were written by the most distinguished Pessoa scholars across the
globe. They explore the influence on Pessoa's thinking of such
writers as Whitman and Shakespeare, as well as his creative
dialogues with figuresranging from decadent poets to the dark
magician Aleister Crowley, and, finally, some of the ways in which
he in turn has influenced others. They examine many different
aspects of Pessoa's work, ranging from the poetry of the heteronyms
to the haunting prose of The Book of Disquiet, from esoteric
writings to personal letters, from reading notes to unpublished
texts. Fernando Pessoa's Modernity Without Frontiers is a valuable
introduction to this multifaceted modern master, intended for both
students of modern literature and general readers interested in one
of its major figures.
This fourth volume in the Dedalus European Fantasy series offers a
rich feast of bewitched houses, roads that lead nowhere, hanged men
who descend from the scaffold in order to help the living, churches
buried beneath the sea, and cannibalism. In addition to the
well-known masters Eca de Queiroz and Mario de SaCarneiro,
contributors include Jose Rodrigues Migueis, Domingo Monteiro,
Failho de Almeida, Jose Regio, David Mourao-Ferreira, Alvaro do
Carvalhal, Ferreira de Castro, and Almada Negreiros, most appearing
for the first time in English translation.

Luís Vaz de Camões (ca.1524/25-1580) is reckoned the greatest
poet in the Portuguese language, granting him a position in the
national literature akin to that of Dante, Shakespeare, or Goethe.
He wrote a considerable amount of lyric poetry and at least three
dramas, but is best remembered for his epic poem Os Lusíadas (The
Lusiads), which set out to be, and succeeded in being, a Portuguese
epic of the nation that can stand alongside Virgil's Aeneid. As
Jonathan Griffin ably demonstrates in this volume, however, his
shorter works, mostly sonnets and redondilhas (roundels), are fine
lyrics and ought to be given the same serious attention that the
epic receives as of right. Little is known of Camões' life, other
than what we see "reported" in the Lusiads, but we do know that he
served as a common soldier in the East, serving in India, Africa
and Macau.
