Brazil's folk-popular poetry - a literatura de cordel, - is perhaps the most important and vibrant variant of poetry of the masses in western culture. But not many people in the English-speaking world know much about it.

Written by one of the most educated scholars on the subject, Brazil's Folk-Popular Poetry - A Literatura De Cordel goes back to the craft's origins in Portugal in the 17th and 18th centuries and tells the story of how it developed and found a place in the hearts and minds of the people of Brazil.

Get ready to discover:

  • How Spain and France influenced the poetry.
  • Beautiful narrative poetry from forgotten poets who deserve to be rediscovered.
  • How the cordel spread from northeastern Brazil to the Amazon region, to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in the South, and later to Brasilia.
  • Why these poems are still relevant today.
  • And much more!
Become a fan of a poetry that documents religious beliefs, views on national politics, and thoughts on morality.
