This study examines the cultural cross-pollination occurring between Spain and
Portugal during the early modern period. More specifically, it argues that a number of
Portuguese authorsincluding Manuel de Faria e Sousa, Ângela de Azevedo, Jacinto
Cordeiro, and António de Sousa de Macedoused their proficiency in Spanish to
articulate and spread a collective sense of national identity throughout the Castilianized
peninsula and Europe. Despite emerging from an ambiguous state of social, political, and
cultural hybridity, these Portuguese writers clearly identified with and claimed allegiance
to their native land. Overall, this investigation attempts to situate Portuguese literature
written in Spanish within the greater literary production of the time and reappraise a body
of works that uniquely addresses the intersection of language, literature, and politics on
the early modern Iberian landscape.
