Recepção da obra de Milton em Portugal : algumas achegas (II)

Abstract

The present article focuses on four topics relevant to the reception of the work of John Milton in Portuguese literary culture: (a) an essay by José Maria de Andrade Ferreira on the nineteenth-century novelist, Júlio Dinis, that emphasizes the similarity between the latter's critical fortune and Milton's; (b) the references to Milton made by the same Júlio Dinis; (c) the television programmes scripted and presented by David Mourão-Ferreira on a wide gamut of poets; and (d) a volume on Milton published by Mondadori in Italy that was translated and adapted for the Portuguese reading public by the scholar Irene de Albuquerque in 1972.
