Brazil's Folk-popular Poetry - a Literatura De Cordel: a Bilingual Anthology in English and Portuguese
Mark J. Curran
Brazil's folk-popular poetry - "a literatura de cordel," - is perhaps the most important and vibrant variant of poetry of the masses in western culture. But not many people in the English-speaking world know much about it.
Written by one of the most educated scholars on the subject, Brazil's Folk-Popular Poetry - A Literatura De Cordel goes back to the craft's origins in Portugal in the 17th and 18th centuries and tells the story of how it developed and found a place in the hearts and minds of the people of Brazil.
Get ready to discover:
- How Spain and France influenced the poetry.
- Beautiful narrative poetry from forgotten poets who deserve to be rediscovered.
- How the "cordel" spread from northeastern Brazil to the Amazon region, to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in the South, and later to Brasilia.
- Why these poems are still relevant today.
- And much more!
Become a fan of a poetry that documents religious beliefs, views on national politics, and thoughts on morality.
