Colvin, Michael. Fado and the Urban Poor in Portuguese Cinema of the 1930s and 1940s. Tamesis, 2016.
Abstract
This volume nuances a foundational maxim of Lisbon fado, namely, that it acquired class mobility via nineteenth-century prostitute-fadista Maria Severa (from the hardscrabble neighborhood of Mouraria) and her liaison with a member of the nobility.
