Essays on Iberian History and Literature, from the Roman Empire to the Renaissance
The studies by Professor Livermore collected in this volume deal with the history and literature of Portugal and Spain in the period from the fifth century Germanic invasion of Roman Spain up to the vision of the Orient in Fernão Mendes Pinto.

Several other articles examine aspects of Anglo-Portuguese contacts.
