Portuguese bibliography

Description

"Portuguese bibliography" by Aubrey F. G. Bell is a bibliography written in the early 20th century. It compiles and organizes scholarship, primary texts, and reference tools on Portuguese letters, with notable coverage of Galician and Brazilian literatures, language studies, folklore, and anthologies, and is designed to accompany the author’s broader survey of Portuguese literature. The opening of this bibliography sets out its plan and purpose, noting that it follows a respected Spanish model, complements a companion volume on Portuguese literature, and uses clear typographical signs to flag bibliographical works and items still in progress, with brief notes on abbreviations. A detailed table of contents outlines sections for general works, texts, anthologies, folklore and popular poetry, language, dictionaries, and authors. The first section launches into an extensive, multilingual list of general studies, catalogues, journals, histories of printing and censorship, and broad literary histories—then appends focused sublists for Galician and Brazilian literature. Subsequent pages begin the sections on “Texts” (series and document collections) and “Anthologies” (chrestomathies and selections), and open “Folk-lore, Popular Poetry, etc.,” cataloguing sources on ballads, proverbs, songs, tales, and regional traditions.
