520 $aOpen collection of more than 9000 chapbooks dated from 1930 to the present created through annual accruals of chapbooks collected by the Library of Congress Office in Brazil. In the markets of northeast Brazil, where literatura de cordel is most popular, local poets hang their chapbooks from strings, hence the name literatura de cordel, which literally means "string literature." The poets, known as cordelistas, entertain the market crowd by reciting their narrative poems about current events, morality, or the adventures of a famous folk hero. Chapbooks are illustrated by woodcut prints, photographs, and other cover art. The collection also contains thirteen 7-inch tapes of romances and other songs recorded by Sol Biderman in northeastern Brazil, circa 1968-1970, numbered SR01-SR13.
