Literary Criticism

Compilation of texts of literary criticism, written by Delmira Maçãs, benefactor of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, mostly published in the Portuguese Journal of Philology, between the 1960s and 1980s. In this volume of the collection titled Miscellany, Delmira Maçãs shares in a lively, rich, and insightful manner, considerations about a myriad of studies and works in the fields of Linguistics and Philology, with special emphasis on German authors. Along the path of these critiques and analyses, the author shares with the reader her unique perspective on issues of language, speech, and communication. These writings reveal Delmira Maçãs, a complex and contradictory personality who found in the blank pages her most stimulating confidant. The books of Delmira Maçãs were published by Santa Casa in 2009, in fulfillment of the testamentary charge stipulated by the benefactor to the Misericórdia de Lisboa, the institution she chose as her heir: the publication of her personal writings, of an autobiographical nature, but also of a religious and literary character. This is a set of 16 volumes, organized into three collections: Biographical Notes – Steps to Death, Dialogue with the Gospels, and Miscellany.
