Galician Literature
Galician-language literature is the literature written in Galician. The earliest works in Galician language are from the early 13th-century ''trovadorismo'' tradition. In the Middle Ages, ''Galego-português'' (Galician-Portuguese) was a language of culture, poetry (troubadours) and religion throughout not only Galicia and Portugal but also Castile. After the separation of Portuguese and Galician, Galician was considered provincial and was not widely used for literary or academic purposes. It was with the ''Rexurdimento'' ("Rebirth"), in the mid-19th century that Galician was used again in literature, and then in politics. Much literature by Galician authors is written in Spanish, such as by Ignacio Ramonet or Gonzalo Torrente Ballester - though such writers tend to be excluded from discussion of Galician literature and counted as Spanish-language literature. Rosalia Castro de Murguía's ''Cantares Gallegos'' (1863; Galician Songs) was the first Galician-language book to be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
