URL: http://www.instituto-camoes.pt/cvc/literatura/eng/modernismo.htm

A cosmopolitan aesthetic atmosphere which defined European and international arts and culture at the turn of the last century and particularly marked the first two or three decades of the twentieth century. In Portugal, the tendency has generally been linked with the figures of Fernando Pessoa, Mário de Sá-Carneiro, Almada Negreiros and many others, and is centred around the magazine Orpheu (first issue printed in 1915).
