Cordel Literature
It is a type of popular poetry printed and distributed on small paper books. They are typically illustrated with naïve, ink prints using a process called xilogravura. [[[readmore]]] Cordel gained its name in Portugal where the little books were displayed to the public hanging on lines of cord, in small shops, markets and even on the street.
This form of literature came to Brazil in the 18th century and quickly became popular in the Northeast, where it continues to be made and sold in the streets today.
