	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Portuguese Literature
		The line of the chroniclers which is one of the boasts of Portuguese literature began with Fernão Lopes, who compiled the chronicles of the reigns of Kings Pedro, Fernando, and John I. He combined a passion for accurate statement with a especial talent for descriptive writing and portraiture, and with him a new epoch dawns.
		The general inferiority of seventeenth-century literature to that of the preceding age has been charged to the new royal absolutism, the Inquisition, the Index, and the exaggerated humanism of the Jesuits who directed higher education; nevertheless, had a man of genius appeared he would have overcome all obstacles.
		The Academy of History, established by John V in 1720 in imitation of the French Academy, published fifteen volumes of learned "Memoirs" and laid the foundations for a critical study of the annals of Portugal, among its members being Caetano de Sousa, author of the volumious "Historia da Casa Real", and the bibliographer Barbosa Machado.

	Inter-American Studies: On-Line Bibliography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the context of inter-American literature, this essay is famous because it marks one of the first times that a major writer from the United States openly and enthusiastically acknowledges the very positive influence a Spanish American writer has had on his work, and on fiction in general.
		Blodgett notes, for example, that the literature of modern Québec is being examined in the light of parallels and relationships it may have with “the whole complex of aspirations that goes under the rubric of Third World Studies,” including the Caribbean, Spanish America, and Brazil (15); highly recommended.
		Dorsinville argues that, while pervasive in the literatures of the Americas, the popular images of “the Black man” (351) are largely a myth, and that “White mythologizing of the Black man is the polar opposite of the latter’s self-perception” (352).
