Excerpt from Portuguese Literature to the End of the 18th Century: Being a Lecture Delivered at Manchester University on the 1st February, 1909 The introduction of Italian poetry, especially that of Petrarch, promoted a revival of Spanish verse which accounts for its superiority to and absolute authority in Portugal throughout the 15th century.
