Severa's Legacy and the Fado's Rewriting of Urban History

This book exposes how Fado lyricists have appropriated popular novelist and playwright Julio Danta's forging of Mouraria fadista/ prostitute Maria Severa as a national heroine, and the Fado as the national song--in A Severa (1901) and A Severa: Peca em Quatro Actos (1901)--to manifest a sub-rosa criticism of the Estado Novo's demolition of the Mouraria between the 1930s and 1970s.
