About This Item
Lisbon, Portugália Editora, 1947.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. 8°, original illustrated wrappers. A few small stains. Uncut and unopened. In very good to fine condition. Author's signed seven-line presentation inscription on half title: "Ao Sr. Dr. Matos Romão, // mestre de filosofia e // psicologia, do seu // divúlgalo [?] de "Experimental", // com todo o respeito e // admiração // António Quadros". 298 pp., (3 ll.). *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of the author's FIRST BOOK. This collection of literary criticism, includes essays on Marcel Proust, D.H. Lawrence, Alain Fournier, Jean Giraudoux, Georges Duhamel, Katherine Mansfield, Aldous Huxley, José Lins do Rego, Hemingway, Erskine Caldwell, Erico Veríssimo, Henry Miller, Arthur Koestler, Cesário Verde, Mário de Sá Carneiro, Fernando Pessoa, Armando Cortes Rodrigues, Eça de Queiros, and others. It is significant as a relatively early appreciation of Pessoa, about whom Quadros would become a leading authority, and an introduction of many internationally acclaimed authors to the Portuguese reading public.The writer and thinker António Quadros (1923-1993) was the son of authors António Ferro and Fernanda de Castro. He was important as a poet and author of fiction, but perhaps most of all as one of the leading literary critics and teachers of his time.Provenance: On João António Matos Romão (1882-?), professor at the Universidade de Lisboa and writer, see Grande enciclopédia XVI, 610. The presentation inscription no doubt alludes to Matos Romão's publication that year in the Revista da Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa of "Galileu e o método científico".*** See Luís Forjaz Trigueiros in Machado, Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, pp. 392-3; João Bigotte Chorão in Biblos, IV, 489-91; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, V, 292-5.
