About the author
Augusto Malheiro Dias, listed in the Digital Library of Literature from Lusophone Countries as Augusto Malheiro Dias Guimarães, was born in 1842 in Cedofeita, Portugal, and died in 1902 in Porto. The same source places him among Portuguese-language writers of the 19th century.
The work most clearly linked to him in widely accessible catalogs today is Castilho e Quental: Reflexões sobre a actual questão litteraria, a book connected with an important literary dispute in Portuguese culture. Project Gutenberg and other public-domain listings still preserve his name through that title, which suggests that his lasting visibility comes largely from his contribution to literary criticism and debate rather than from a large surviving popular bibliography.
Reliable portrait material was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm here, so no profile image is included.
