Galician literature
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Galician literature has been developed both in Galician and Spanish.
The first written Galician literature was at the beginning of 13th century.
In the Middle Ages, Galego-português (or Portuguese-Galician) was a language of culture, poetry (troubadors) and religion throughout not only Galiza and Portugal but also Castile.
After the separation of Portuguese and Galician, Galician was considered provincial and was not widely used for literary or academic purposes.
It was with the Rexurdimento ("Rebirth"), in the mid 1800s that Galician was used again in literature, and then in politics.
