Galician literature

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galician literature is the literature written by Galician authors. It has been developed in both Galician and Spanish, although it is a moot point to call Galician literature to literature written in Spanish. The earliest works in Galician language are from the early 13th-century trovadorismo tradition. In the Middle Ages, Galego-português (Galician-Portuguese) was a language of culture, poetry (troubadours) and religion throughout not only Galicia and Portugal but also Castile.

After the separation of Portuguese and Galician, Galician was considered provincial and was not widely used for literary or academic purposes. It was with the Rexurdimento ("Rebirth"), in the mid 1800s that Galician was used again in literature, and then in politics.
