Urbano Loureiro

1845–1880

A Portuguese writer from the late 19th century, he is best known today for Questão do Palheiro: Coimbrões e Lisboetas, a work that has remained available through Project Gutenberg. Little biographical detail is easy to confirm, which gives his surviving work an added sense of curiosity and discovery.

About the author

Very little reliable biographical information about this author was available in the sources I could confirm during this search. He is generally identified as Urbano Loureiro (1845–1880), a Portuguese writer active in the 19th century.

The work most clearly connected to him in accessible library sources is Questão do Palheiro: Coimbrões e Lisboetas. Its continued circulation in digital archives has helped preserve his name even though fuller details about his life appear to be scarce online.

That makes him one of those authors known above all through the survival of a book rather than a long public record — a reminder of how much literary history still depends on what has been preserved and digitized.
