Cantares gallegos by Rosalía de Castro
"Cantares gallegos" by Rosalía de Castro is a poetry collection published in 1863. Written in Galician, this groundbreaking work marks the rebirth of Galician literature and dignifies a language often overlooked. Through poems influenced by popular Galician songs, Castro captures rural society with costumbrist descriptions, love poems, and social commentary. She becomes the lyric voice of her abandoned homeland, celebrating its landscapes—mountains, fields, and sea—while addressing emigration and injustice. The collection defends
Galician identity and creates lasting testimony for its people, particularly campesinos and fishermen. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
