NOTES ON SOME PORTUGUESE EMIGRADO JOURNALS PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND

Abstract

These journals published in England by Portuguese exiles in the early nineteenth century were examined, without success, for evidence of literary developments. The following notes are, therefore, no more than a by-product and make no claim to be exhaustive, but some indication of the contents of the journals may be of interest.

Notes

¹A list, not including O Microscopio, appears in F. Walter, La Littérature Portugaise en Angleterre à l'Époque Romantique (Paris, 1927), p. 130.

¹Except in the titles, the orthography has been modernized.

² In contrast to these fine sentiments on liberty, an article in the second issue betrays much hesitation on the slavery question and favours only a slow process of liberation.

¹F. Walter, however, op. cit., p. 130, gives the date of its last issue as April, 1829.
