Portuguese
An essential, comprehensive guide for all who are interested in learning the Portuguese language and mastering its complexities, Portuguese: A Reference Manual supplements the phonetic and grammatical explanations offered in basic textbooks. While the Manual focuses on Brazilian Portuguese, it incorporates European Portuguese variants and thus provides a more complete description of the language. Accessible to non-linguists and novice language learners, as well as informative for instructors of Portuguese and specialists in other languages, this guide incorporates the Orthographic Accord (in effect since 2009–2010), which attempts to standardize Portuguese orthography. The Manual reflects the language as it is currently taught at both the undergraduate and graduate levels by providing detailed explanations of the sound and writing systems and the grammar of the principal Portuguese dialects. A reference guide rather than a textbook, the Manual also provides extensive verb charts, as well as comparisons of Portuguese with English and Spanish.
King Dinis of Portugal and the Alfonsine Heritage
The medieval Castilian King Alfonso X «the Learned» (ruled 1252 - 1284) and his grandson, King Dinis of Portugal (ruled 1279 - 1325), not only were the two most prolific poets of the Galician-Portuguese Cancioneiros but also figured prominently as patrons of culture and the arts. This book examines the influence of Alfonso X and his court on Dinis in the fields of translation, law, higher learning, historiography, and poetry.
Internationalism and the Three Portugals
These are the memoirs of an officer and a scholar. Francis M. Rogers (1914-1989) was awarded the Silver Star Medal in 1942, and in 1950 he became a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. From 1945 until his retirement in 1981, he was Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard University. Throughout his teaching career, he endeavored to promote international relations by teaching American students the language and culture of Portugal. He also served as Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and as Chairman of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. The recipient of nine honorary doctorates, Rogers wrote widely on Portuguese culture, linguistics, celestial navigation, and higher education.

From Linguistics to Literature
Francis M. Rogers, to whom the current volume is in honor of, may be a modest man in principle, but not in his academic pursuits. To call his interests broad in scope is no exaggeration as they cover the fields of linguistics, literature, philology, bibliography, travel narratives and celestial navigation, which is nicely reflected in this volume. Part I concerns general and Luso-Brazilian linguistics (Bernard H. Bichakjian, John B. Jensen, Anthony J. Naro, Joseph M. Piel, Cléa Rameh); Part II Medieval studies: Sheila R. Ackerlind, Donald Stone Jr., Paolo Valesio, Joan B. Williamson; Part III Luso-Brazilian literature (Memória de Lázaro, Frederick C.H. Garcia, David T. Haberly, Jane M. Malinoff, Noami Hoki Moniz, Maria Luisa Nunes, Noêl W. Ortega, Raymond S. Sayers, Nelson H. Vieira); and Part IV on travel literature (Mary M. Rowan, Charity Cannon Willard). This volume also contains a complete bibliography of the writings of Francis M. Rogers.
Patterns of Conflict
This book examines the patterns of conflict between the individual and society as depicted in Spanish medieval and Golden Age literature. The theme of the individual in conflict with society is most significant since it reflects the human condition and consequently serves as the foundation for numerous works written from the twelfth through the seventeenth centuries. Besides providing an introduction to the societal ideals and values underlying early Spanish writings, this book schematizes the basic types of conflict revealed in literature and attempts to clarify why authors selected particular solutions to the kinds of conflict they chose to treat.
