Summary: "Guelfos e Gibelinos: Tentativa critica sobre a actual polemica litteraria" by E. A. Vidal is a critical examination of the contemporary literary debate, likely written during the mid-19th century. This analytical work addresses the ideological struggle between two factions in Portuguese literature, which the author metaphorically describes as the Guelfs and Ghibellines—an allusion to historical factions known for their rivalries. The book delves into the conflicts of artistic principles and trends that have emerged within the literary scene of the time. In the text, Vidal reflects on the nature of literary criticism and the societal implications of competing literary schools, particularly criticizing the Coimbra and Lisboa factions. He discusses the recent heated exchanges ignited by a critical letter about a poet's work, revealing deeper tensions between established and emerging writers. Vidal argues passionately for the importance of artistic integrity and the necessity of poetry to remain accessible and emotionally resonant for the public. He concludes that literature should focus on truth and beauty rather than obscure philosophical theories, advocating for a return to simpler, more relatable themes in poetry and literature that resonate with human experience and emotion.
