Facsimile
edition, with interesting material added, of this important
review of poetry published in four numbers from October
1951 to the Spring of 1953. Literary directors were António
Luís Moita, António Ramos Rosa, José Terra, Luís Amaro, and
Raul de Carvalho. In the final number they were joined by
Egito Gonçalves. Contributors included Eduardo Lourenço,
António Ramos Rosa, Adolfo Casais Monteiro, Raul de
Carvalho, Jorge de Sena, Egito Gonçalves, David
Morão-Ferreira, Lima de Freitas, Albano Martins, Vergílio
Ferreira, Rogério Fernandes, Sophia de Mello Breyner
Andresen, Ilse Losa, Eugénio de Andrade, Cabral de
Nascimento, Fernando Guimarães, Natércia Freire, Fernando
Lanhas, Luísa Dacosta, Mário Cesariny de Vasconcelos, Jorge
de Lima, and others. Among the foreign authors whose works
were translated or reviewed were Rainer Maria Rilke, René
Char, Marcel Thiry, Henri Michaux, Frederico García Lorca,
and W.H. Auden. It is thought that the translation of poems
by Paul Eluard, a communist writer whose death had recently
been noted in the press, as well as texts by García Lorca
(a writer "marcado" by the regime), Rafael Alberti, and
Pablo Neruda, were decisive in causing the intervention of
the authorities. On 17 April 1953 the PIDE acted, and in
the words of João Gaspar Simões, what was to be the final
issue of Arvore
"Foi votada à
fúria do lenhador." See Daniel Pires, Dicionário
da imprensa periódica literária portuguesa do século
XX, vol. II
(1941-1974), tomo 1, pp. 59-65.

RODRIGUES LOBO, Francisco. A
primavera. Maria Lúcilia
Gonçalves Pires, ed. Lisbon: Vega, 2003. Obras Clássicas da

prtd. wrps. 352 pp. ISBN: 972-699-722-4. $45.00
FIRST
PORTUGUESE PASTORAL NOVEL. Based on the 1608 second
edition, published during the life of the author, with his
additions and corrections. The third edition, the last to
appear during the author's lifetime, published in 1619,
while claiming to have been "de novo emendada e
acresentada," is actually a corrupted version of the second
edition, with numerous typographical errors. The editor's
introduction occupies pp. 7-37.
Rodrigues
Lobo was a champion of the Portuguese language who had a
significant impact on the formation of the baroque style
throughout the Iberian Peninsula. "Entre os discípulos de
Camões, mas distinguindo-se . . . . justifica-se pela
posição central que ocupa na ficção bucólica maneirista,
embora não posamos deixar de o ter em mente como teorizador
ou preceptista da literatura, e ainda como poeta lírico." -
Saraiva & Lopes, Históra da
Literatura Portuguesa (9th ed.) p.
427. Forjaz de Sampaio called him the greatest Portuguese
bucolic poet. The fame of this important author "rests
chiefly on his three pastoral works of mingled prose and
verse: A
Primavera (1601) and its
second and third parts O Pastor
Peregrino (1608)
and O
Desenganado (1614). . . .
Look into them where you will, beautiful descriptions,
showing deep love of Nature, will present themselves, and
delightful verse and harmonious prose, excellent in its
component parts . . . ." - Bell, Portuguese
Literature, pp. 153-4.
Bell also writes of Rodrigues Lobo's "great and enduring
fame." - p. 155. Each part of this trilogy stands on its
own as a separate work; the first editions of each are
rare, and all seventeeth-century editions are rather
scarce.
Through
a manuscript of a trial before the Inquisition of Miguel
Lobo, the author's brother, it has become known that his
father was a New Christian, while his mother was half New
Christian; thus Rodrigues Lobo was three quarters Jewish in
inheritance. It is clear, on the other hand, that the
family had attained a status, albeit shaky, of borderline
petty nobility, and that Rodrigues Lobo identified with the
nobility.
