<p>Antero de Quental (April 18, 1842–September 11, 1891) was a Portuguese journalist and poet. His sonnets and political writings span the period 1860 to 1884. The sonnets in particular are a record of Antero’s intellectual and spiritual progress, reflecting on his readings in European philosophy and literature. Also included in this volume are his five longer poems and the autobiographical resume Antero sent to his German translator. Antero’s poems are printed here for the first time in facing Portuguese-English presentation.\n“Properly speaking there has been no Portuguese literature before Antero de Quental; before that there has been either a preparation for a future literature, or foreign literature written in the Portuguese language.” — Fernando Pessoa, letter to William Bentley, 1915</p>
