About the author
Francisco Luís Coutinho de Miranda was a writer and journalist who died in 1883. A Portuguese historical reference identifies him simply as a "jornalista e escritor," while a Brazilian literary database also lists his year of death as 1883.
His work survives through library and public-domain catalogs rather than through a large modern biographical record. Project Gutenberg credits him as the author of works including Á hora do crime, and library catalogs also attribute plays such as Pesca de corações to him.
Because reliable biographical information appears to be scarce online, many personal details about his life remain unclear from the sources I could confirm. What does stand out is his place in 19th-century Portuguese-language print culture, especially as a dramatist whose work has been preserved for later readers.
