The Portuguese Literary Revival

The Portuguese Literary Revival was a cultural movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at reconnecting Portugal with its national identity through literature. It emphasized the use of the Portuguese language, celebrated historical themes, and promoted national pride. Writers sought to revive Portugal’s literary traditions, fostering a sense of cultural unity and inspiring a renewal of artistic and intellectual expression. This movement laid the groundwork for modern Portuguese literature and helped define Portugal’s cultural identity in a changing Europe.
