The beginnings of Portuguese literature are to be found in medieval Galician-Portuguese poetry, originally developed in Galicia and northern Portugal. The Golden Age is located in the Renaissance, with the writings of Gil Vicente, Bernardim Ribeiro, Sá de Miranda and especially the great epic poet Luís de Camões, author of national and epic poem Os Lusíadas. The seventeenth century was marked by the introduction of the Baroque in Portugal and is generally regarded as the century of literary decadence, despite the existence of writers like Father António Vieira, Padre Manuel Bernardes and Francisco Rodrigues Lobo. The writers of the eighteenth century to counteract a certain decadence of the baroque stage, made an effort to recover the level of the Golden Age – The Neoclassicism, through the creation of academies and literary Arcadias. In the nineteenth century, the neoclassical ideals were abandoned, where Almeida Garrett introduced Romanticism, followed by Alexandre Herculano and Rebelo da Silva. Among novels in the second half of the nineteenth century, Realism was developed, of naturalistic features, whose exponents included Eça de Queiroz, Ramalho Ortigão and Camilo Castelo Branco. Literary trends during the twentieth century are represented mainly by Fernando Pessoa, considered as the great national poets on pair with Camões, and now in his later years by the development of prose fiction, thanks to authors such as António Lobo Antunes and José Saramago winner of the Nobel prize for Literature. == Birth of a literary language == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portuguese literature」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
