FIVE 'ROMANCES' OF 'CORDEL' is a return to a long - time research topic, but nowto the very beginnings of Brazil’s 'literatura popular em verso' or 'literatura de cordel.' Theearly 'romances' or 'historias' of 'cordel' began as narrative poetry telling a story based onpopular literature from Portugal, Spain and France. The stories from Europe were in proseand were sold by the Livreiro Garnier in Rio de Janeiro at the end of the 19th century. Poetslike Leandro Gomes de Barros, Joao Melchiades Ferreira da Silva, Jose’ Camelo de MeloResende, Marcos Sampaio and others converted the prose stories to verse. This author haschosen five of the most famous and placed the Portuguese originals alongside his own Englishtranslations along with notes, commentary and asides. A Labor of Love. Enjoy.
