Summary:

"In the past few decades, the discipline of literary history has been the subject of intense discussion, from David Perkins's provocative question Is Literary History Possible? to the debates generated by a series of thought-provoking volumes dedicated to the writing of innovative national literary histories, published by Harvard University Press—namely, A New History of French Literature (1989), A New History of German Literature (2005), and A New Literary History of America (2009). This latest volume of Portuguese Literary & Cultural Studies reflects on the problem of literary history in the Lusophone world, with an emphasis on theories of literary history and of literary history and empire." -- Publisher's description.
