Portuguese Modernisms - Multiple Perspectives in Literature and the Visual Arts (Hardcover, New)

For a more encompassing and stimulating picture of Modernism - seen as a movement of the 20th century, a broad spectrum of work across many countries - we must explore its diversity. Portuguese Modernism manifested itself both in visual art and in literature, and made a vigorous contribution to this time of profound cultural change. Indeed, the sociocultural transformations that marked the early 20th century in Portugal are still current. This volume provides a critical guide for students and teachers, contributed to by an array of scholars with unparalleled knowledge of the period, its artists and its writers.
