CANCIONEIRO GERAL. Lisboa. 1950-1958. - CANCIONEIRO GERAL . Colecção de poesia portuguesa contemporânea. Lisboa: Centro Bibliográfico; Publicações Europa-América, 1950-1958. 21 [de 22] v.; 19 cm. A set of 21 volumes (only volume no. 17 is missing) from the ”Cancioneiro Geral” collection, published in Lisbon by the Centro Bibliográfico and, in the final volumes, by Publicações Europa-América, between 1950 and 1958. The collection constitutes one of the most significant editorial vectors of the second wave of Portuguese neorealism, with several of its titles having been subject to intervention by the Censorship Services. The collection brings together some of the most important early editions of Portuguese poetry from the period: Eugénio de Andrade's * Os Amantes sem Dinheiro * (1950) and *As Palavras Interditas * (1951), formative works of one of the most translated poets in the Portuguese language in the 20th century; Carlos de Oliveira's * Terra de Harmonia * (1950), a cornerstone of neorealism; Mário Dionísio's * O Riso Dissonante* (1950); Jorge de Sena's *As Evidências* (1955), a sequence of twenty-one sonnets by one of the greatest Portuguese poets and literary critics of the century; and Teixeira de Pascoaes' * Últimos Versos * (1953), the only title in the collection by a poet from the previous generation, whose presence underscores the aesthetic breadth of the series. Three volumes feature handwritten dedications from their respective authors: Mário Dionísio's Dissonant Laughter , Antunes da Silva's This Land That Is Ours (1952) and Songs of the Wind (1957). This collection is unusually large and very difficult to reconstruct. The missing volume is No. 17: Orlando da Costa, Seven Odes of Common Song (1955).
