This great adventure resulted in an extremely rich travel literature and was responsible for the expansion of the national language The history of Portuguese literature accompanied the aesthetic evolution of western culture, emerging from a mediaeval Latin-based environment that served as the basis for the formation and perfection of literary language until the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was also open to popular influences, particularly in the early days of historiography (whose most important figure was Fernão Lopes with his remarkable capacity for describing mass social movements) and in the theatre (whose most notable figure was Gil Vicente with his ability to communicate the traditional wisdom deriving from the spontaneity of the ordinary people):

   Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... P > Portuguese Literature A B C D ... CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan The Portuguese language was developed gradually from the lingua rustica spoken in the countries which formed part of the Roman Empire and, both in morphology and syntax, it represents an organic transformation of Latin without the direct intervention of any foreign tongue. The sounds, grammatical forms, and syntactical types, with a few exceptions, are derived from Latin, but the vocabulary has absorbed a number of Germanic and Arabic words, and a few have Celtic or Iberian origin. Before the close of the middle ages the language threatened to become almost as abbreviated as French, but learned writers, in their passion for antiquity, re-approximated the vocabulary to Latin. The Renaissance commenced a separation between literary men and the people, between the written and spoken tongue, which with some exceptions lasted until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Then the Romanticists went back to tradition and drew on the poetry and every day speech of the people, and, thanks to the writings of such men as Almeida-Garrett and Camillo Castello Branco, the literary language became national once again.

6. Gil Vicente
   A brief biography of the Portuguese playwright.  
   http://www.instituto-camoes.pt/cvc/literatura/eng/GIL.HTM
   
   Extractions: He was the most important Portuguese playwright and yet also the royal goldsmith, the master of the scales at the Mint and the author of the famous Belém Monstrance. In 1502, he performed Auto da Visitação (Monólogo do Vaqueiro) before the queen just as she was about to give birth, and this marked the beginning of a fertile career as a regular and brilliant writer of comedies. His work represents the coming together of the mediaeval inheritance (especially in the different genres and poetic rhythms that he favoured - systematically using the popular metre in both morality plays and farces) and the Renaissance spirit, which was a critical exercise in its denunciation of both institutional irregularities and society’s vices. Amongst his innumerable works are: Auto da Índia , 1509, a farce criticising the way in which, after systematically setting sail with great euphoria for the Far East in search of riches, the Portuguese were necessarily forced to abandon their nation and family situations; the series of morality plays known as the Autos das Barcas (

   http://www.instituto-camoes.pt/cvc/literatura/eng/historialit.htm
   
   Extractions: Front page of the newspaper JL - Jornal de Letras, Artes e Ideias , Year I, No. 1, from 3 to 16 March, 1981. The history of Portuguese literature can be understood on two separate levels: The progression over time of the cultivation of the Portuguese language for aesthetic and cultural purposes (which the theory of literary history calls literary evolution , e.g. Tynianov and the Russian Formalists); Consideration of the way in which this progression should best be seen, through the critical and methodological perspectives that determine its nature. At level , it should be stressed that: a) The evolution of a community has strong correlations with the evolution of neighbouring communities, or with the evolution of those communities with which it has close relations (in the Portuguese case, this meant certain European literatures, such as Spanish, French, Italian and others, depending on the particular periods and the types of relationship enjoyed; later, it was to mean Brazilian and North American literature, either because of their natural intercommunication or through an indirect relationship); b) uch evolution takes place within a much broader artistic, cultural, socio-political and economic framework
