Portuguese journalist and author Almeida Garrett died #OTD in 1854. In 1843, he published Romanceiro e Cancioneiro Geral; two years later, he wrote the first volume of his historical novel O Arco de Santana. This latest signified a change in Garrett's style, leading to a more complex and subjective prose with which he experimented at length in Viagens na Minha Terra. via @wikipedia
