In this presentation from April 4, 2024, Dr. Kathleen March (University of Maine) discusses how Galician literature has existed since the Middle Ages, with a ‘mere’ four centuries of silence until the 19th century. It is a worthwhile challenge to enter the cultural and linguistic seascape of this writing, which encountered another loss of visibility with the fascist dictatorship (1936-1975). The last half-century has qualified creative writing in galego as a literature of resistance (and quality) that deserves a place in World Literature as it emerges from what once was called a status peripheral to Spanish writing. In addition, Dr. March presented her various translation projects of Galician literature and encouraged future translators to join her in this worthwhile endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
