Os Litteratos em Lisboa: Poemeto
by A. Ferreira de Freitas
About the author
A. Ferreira de Freitas was a Portuguese writer and poet active in the 19th century. The clearest details consistently found online identify him as a Portuguese author whose known period of activity was around 1865.
He is chiefly associated with Os litteratos em Lisboa: poemeto, published in 1865. As the title suggests, the work is a poem centered on literary life in Lisbon, and it is the main title linked to his name in major public-domain catalogs.
Very little biographical information appears to be firmly documented beyond that. Because the surviving record is so limited, he is best approached through the poem itself rather than through a detailed life story.
