Overview

Excerpt from Portuguese Literature to the End of the 18th Century: Being a Lecture Delivered at Manchester University on the 1st February, 1909 The introduction of Italian poetry, especially that of Petrarch, promoted a revival of Spanish verse which accounts for its superiority to and absolute authority in Portugal throughout the 15th century. The Constable D. Pedro, son of the Infant of that name, made himself the first representative of the new school which adopted a taste for allegory and a reverence for classical antiquity, - both derived from Italy. He wrote in Castilian as well as in Portuguese, and to him it was that the Marquis de Santillana addressed the famous letter in which he outlined the history of Peninsular verse.
