Biography

Francisco Dias Gomes was born in Lisbon,[2] the son of Fructuoso Dias, a local tradesman, and his wife Vivência Gomes.[3] His work was little known to contemporary men of letters and his career was spent primarily writing poetry in elegiac meter and studying the progress of Portugal's language and literature.[4]
