Description
- Abstract:
- The political history of nineteenth-century Portugal was, for a long time, a neglected subject. Under Salazar's New State it was passed over in favour of earlier periods from which that nationalist regime sought to draw inspiration; subsequent historians preferred to concentrate on social and economic developments to the detriment of the difficult evolution of Portuguese liberalism. This picture is changing, thanks to an awakening of interest in both contemporary topics and political history (although there is no consensus when it comes to defining political history). The aim of this article is to summarise these recent developments in Portuguese historiography for the benefit of an English-language audience.
- A história política de Portugal no século XIX foi, por muito tempo, um assunto negligenciado. Sob o Estado Novo de Salazar, foi preterido em favor de períodos anteriores dos quais o regime nacionalista buscava inspiração; historiadores subsequentes preferiram concentrar-se em desenvolvimentos sociais e económicos em detrimento da dificultosa evolução do liberalismo Português. Esse quadro está a mudar, graças a um crescente interesse em tópicos contemporâneos e em história política (embora não haja consenso acerca da definição de «história política»). O propósito deste artigo é resumir esses desenvolvimentos recentes da historiografia portuguesa para o benefício de um público anglófono.
