From the flourishing literature of the Medieval period, including the Cantigas de amor, the Cantigas de amigo and the Cantigas de escarnho e maldizer, through the period of marginalisation between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries – the Dark Centuries – Breogáns Lighthouse follows Galician literature to its recovery in the nineteenth century with selections from A Gaita Gallega (The Galician Pipes), the seminal collection of Xoán Manuel Pintos, and the works of Rosalía de Castro (Cantares Gallegos), Eduardo Pondal, Manuel Curros Enríquez and others. The anthology includes prose by Ramón Otero Pedrayo, Vicente Risco, Alfonso D. Rodríguez Castelao and Rafael Dieste from the Nós period, and writings of exile after the Spanish Civil War, when the Galician language and literature were erased at the stroke of the pen.
