In his later works, _Alma Religiosa_ (1910), _Auto das Quatro Estações_ (1911), _Os Teus Sonetos_ (1914), _A Minha Terra_ (1916), the effect is sometimes strained or marred by an almost morbid iteration. Snr. AFONSO LOPES VIEIRA (born in 1878) displays a genuine talent in _O Naufrago_ (1898), _O Encoberto_ (1905), _Ar Livre_ (1906), and _O Pão e as Rosas_ (1908). _Ilhas de Bruma_ (1918) is filled with the rhythm of the sea and with the traditions and native poetry of Portugal. There is a certain strength as well as a subtle music about his verse which is of good promise for the future. Whatever that future may be for Portuguese literature, Portugal will join the more worthily in the great literary age which will eventually spring from years of terrific upheaval if she studies and utilizes her full heritage of prose and verse. There is the less excuse now for its neglect since the devoted labour of many Portuguese scholars is rendering it yearly more accessible. FOOTNOTES: [680] The incomplete list in the _Dicc. Bibliog._, vol. viii. records forty-four published in 1865 and 1866. These include Julio de Castilho’s _O Senhor Antonio Feliciano de Castilho e O Senhor Anthero de Quental_ (1865, 2ᵃ ed., 1866), R. Ortigão’s _Litteratura d’Hoje_ (1866), Snr. Braga’s _As Theocracias Litterarias_ (1865), Quental’s _A Dignidade das Lettras_ (1865), and C. Castello Branco’s _Vaidades irritadas e irritantes_ (1866). [681] The _outeiro_ (lit. ‘hill’) was an assembly of poets to _glosar motes_. Often the gathering-place was outside a convent, from the windows of which the nuns gave the _motes_ for the poets to gloss. [682] Historical research and compilation are carried on by Snr. Fortunato de Almeida in his _Historia da Igreja em Portugal_ (1910, &c.), and by Snr. Afonso de Dornellas (_Historia e Genealogia_, 1913, &c.). Snr. Lucio de Azevedo, well known for his studies of Pombal (_O Marquez de Pombal e a sua epoca_, 1909) and Antonio Vieira (_Historia de Antonio Vieira_, 2 vols., 1918, 21), is a Brazilian. [683] For the works of these and other authors here mentioned consult the Bibliography. [684] It was published, with the necessary explanations, in two volumes (1874). [685] In this most delicate upholstery, if Wedgwood and Baedeker (as well as Maple and Mappin) are introduced, they should surely be spelt correctly. [686] _The Athenaeum_ in 1872 announced that Lord Stanley of Alderney was preparing a translation of _As Pupillas_. According to a letter of Julio Diniz (March 25, 1868), ‘an Englishman, a relation of Lord Stanley, who is here [Oporto] studying the history of the Portuguese discoveries’, had expressed a wish to translate it. The translation was never published. The date of the first Portuguese edition is 1867. It was dramatized at Lisbon in 1868.
