Specialists in such disciplines as literary criticism, linguistics, sociology, history, and art criticism explore the modernist current in Portuguese art and literature. The first part looks at
the leading practitioners from precursors to successors. The second part presents broader comparative and historical perspectives, such as Portuguese and Brazilian modernism, Ezra Pound and
Fernando Pessoa with T. S. Eliot in between, modernism and authoritarianism in early 20th-century Portugal, spiritualism and poetry in modernist Portugal, and important literary works of
Portuguese modernism. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
