Included are analyses of the Portuguese fondness for nicknames over surnames, pejorative terms ('portugee, ' 'Gee'), beau ideal heroes (John Philip Sousa, John Dos Passos, and Peter Francisco), now forgotten early emigrants, foreign visitors to the Azores (Samuel Longfellow and Thomas Wentworth Higginson), proverbs from the oral and literary traditions, the Portuguese sailor on American ships, and the saga of English How She is Spoke, a serious-minded textbook that became a comic phenomenon"--Provided by publisher.
