José Duarte Ramalho Ortigão ((:ʒuˈzɛ ˈdwaɾtɨ ʁɐˈmaʎu uɾtiˈɡɐ̃ũ̯)) (24 October 1836 – 27 September 1915) was a Portuguese writer of the late 19th century and early 20th century. ==Biography== Ortigão spent his early years with his maternal grandmother in Porto. He studied law in the University of Coimbra but he did not complete his studies. After returning to his home town, he taught French at a college run by his father. Among his students, was Eça de Queiroz. In 1862 he dedicated himself to journalism and became a literary critic at the ''Diário do Porto'' and contributed to several literary magazines. At this period Romanticism was the dominant trend in Portuguese literature, led by several major writers including Camilo Castelo Branco and António Augusto Soares de Passos, who influenced Ortigão. In the 1870s, a group of students from Coimbra began to promote new ideas in a reaction against romanticism. This group, eventually called the ''70s Generation'', was to have a major influence on Portuguese literature. As a supporter of romanticism, Ortigão became involved in a struggle against them and even fought a duel with Antero de Quental. In spite of this early opposition he afterwards became friendly with some members of the group. It was at this period that he wrote ''O Mistério da Estrada de Sintra'' and created the satirical journal ''As Farpas'', both in collaboration with Eça de Queiroz. When Queiroz became a diplomat, initially in Cuba, Ortigão continued ''As Farpas'' alone. Ortigão also worked as a translator. In 1874 he produced a Portuguese translation of the English satirical novel ''Ginx's Baby'' by Edward Jenkins. Ramalho Ortigão died in Lisbon on 27 September 1915. 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「Ramalho Ortigão」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
