* Perhaps Gonçalves Dias was partly responsible for the awakening of interest in the Brazilian Indian, the “noble savage,” in the middle of the nineteenth century. Almost every one of the barons created by Dom Pedro II, the last Emperor, took an Indian name and Indian names are still in common use. There is also the opera Guarany by Carlos Gomes, to bear evidence to this continuing fashion for all things Indian. “The Slave Ship,” having been considered bad art by the more sophisticated for decades, has, of late, made something of a comeback, owing partly to new humanitarian, anti-racist feelings, and partly to a brilliant young group of reciters of verse, the Jongleurs of São Paulo, who have included it in their repertory with great success.
