| dc.description.informations | DEDICATÓRIA A autora dedica a obra à Princesa Augusta: "To Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, these "Traits and Traditions of Portugal" are, by gracious permission, most respectfully inscribed by Her Royal Highness's most obliged and obedient servant, Julia Pardoe" DATA DA VISITA A PORTUGAL Compreendeu os anos de 1826, 1827 e 1828, tendo durado quinze meses. Foi a primeira viagem da autora. As razões que a fizeram visitar o nosso país tiveram como causas a sua débil saúde e a deslocação do pai, que cá se dirigiu por motivos militares. A mãe de J. Pardoe também os acompanhou. Não há referências específicas na obra sobre a possível doença da autora e, dado que a sua grande capacidade de mobilidade e dinamismo nunca a impediram de viajar, cremos que Portugal não agravou a sua saúde - bem pelo contrário. PREFÁCIO A autora adverte os leitores para o facto de não irem encontrar na obra "Traits and Traditions of Portugal" assunto para especulação científica ou política. O único objectivo de Pardoe é o de narrar todas as cenas e incidentes aquando da sua estada em Portugal, preservando o espírito de aventura e as características da localidade, enquanto tentava transcrevê-las o mais fielmente possível. Diz ainda oferecer ao público as memórias da viagem, para que ele possa também receber e partilhar da satisfação que ela sentiu; se falhar nesta tentativa, será por uma boa causa, pois que a generosidade e sentimentos nobres da personalidade do português não são suficientemente reconhecidos em Inglaterra. Sinta-se feliz por poder assim provar o seu reconhecimento pela cortesia e bondade que recebeu durante todo o período da sua viagem peninsular. O prefácio data de 10 de Outubro de 1833.

OBJECTIVOS DA VIAGEM "My only aim has been to depict everything as it appeared to me at the moment (:) to preserve the spirit of the adventure, or the features of the locality, without suffering myself to weaken either by the digressions of an idle, imagination; and, trusting to their impression upon myself, to record them as simply and as faithfully as their immediate transcription would enable me to do. Where I looked and listened, even there, in most cases, did I sketch alike the scene and the story: and I now offer those records to the public, trusting that I may not have been wholly unsuccessful in my efforts to import to others some portion of the amusement which I then and thence decived. Should I have unfortunately failed in the attempt, I shall at least have failed in a good cause; as the generosity and high feeling of the Portuguese character are not, I think, sufficiently appreciated in this country (...)". Preface, vi / vii RELIGIÃO A autora foi educada num convento no Continente e era católica, o que lhe permitiu não só a simpatia dos portugueses, como também a entrada (vedada a outros) em conventos e mosteiros. Nestes, ela conversou amigavelmente com "pale, salow looking nuns", numa mistura de português e italiano. | |
