Travel Journalism and Anglo-Portuguese Relations during the Second Decade of the 20th Century (1913)
Travel journalism, which has been exhaustively studied by authors such as Folker Hanusch and Elfriede Fürsich, covers texts written by journalists who have been specifically invited by public or private institutions to visit a particular country and to produce accounts of their experiences for publication in the periodicals they work for, so publicising the country as a tourist destination. At the beginning of the twentieth century this term was still unused. However, this paper will attempt to show that, in view of the unusual circumstances and the context of political turmoil in which a group of British journalists visited Portugal at the invitation of the Sociedade Propaganda de Portugal, the texts they published, which were intended essentially for the promotion of tourism, are paradigmatic examples of travel journalism.O jornalismo de viagens, exaustivamente estudado por autores como Folker Hanusch e Elfriede Fürsich, abrange os textos escritos por jornalistas que foram especificamente convidados por instituições públicas ou privadas a visitar um determinado país e a produzir relatos das suas experiências para publicação nas publicações periódicas para as quais trabalham, divulgando assim o país como destino turístico. No início do século XX, este termo ainda não era utilizado. No entanto, neste artigo procurar-se-á demonstrar que, dadas as circunstâncias invulgares e o contexto de turbulência política em que um grupo de jornalistas britânicos se deslocou a Portugal a convite da Sociedade Propaganda de Portugal, os textos que publicaram, destinados essencialmente à promoção turística, são exemplos paradigmáticos de jornalismo de viagens

Recepção da Obra de Milton em Portugal - Algumas Achegas (II)
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
Madeira, the "dagos" and the Other Winston Churchill
Any visitor to Madeira quickly becomes aware of Sir Winston Churchill’s association with the island. The British statesman made a much-publicised visit in 1950, less than a year after Portugal became a founder member of NATO, much to the chagrin of those in the democratic opposition to the Salazar regime who had hoped that the nations which had emerged victorious from the war against fascism would help to bring about a peaceful transition to democracy. Few islanders are aware, however, that another Winston Churchill – an American novelist who was, at one time, even more famous than the politician, chose the island as a setting for his first short story. This article revisits the literary career of the now-forgotten author whose work is still confused with that of his celebrated namesak
