'''Luís Manuel Júlio Frederico Gonçalves''' (1846 in [[Panjim|Nova Goa]] – 1896), who usually wrote simply as J. Gonçalves, was a [[Goa]]n writer. Referred to by his contemporaries as the [[Alexandre Herculano]] of Goa,<ref>Paul Melo e Castro. ''Lengthening Shadows''. 2 vols. Saligão, India: Goa, 1556, 2016. I p. 9.</ref> Gonçalves had a foundational role in developing Portuguese-language writing in the Portuguese colony of Goa.<ref>Mário Cordeiro, ''Júlio Gonçalves: De Goa a Lisboa'' (2013).</ref><br />
<br />
A lawyer by training, Gonçalves served in public administration, most significantly as librarian of [[Goa Central Library|Panjim's public library]].<ref>Paul Melo e Castro. ''Lengthening Shadows''. 2 vols. Saligão, India: Goa, 1556, 2016. I pp. 9-10.</ref><br />
<br />
Portugal's [[Regeneration (Portugal)|Regeneration]] saw the reintroduction of the press to Goa, along with expanded Portuguese education, and in its wake, Gonçalves founded and ran the monthly journal ''[[Ilustração Goana]]'' from 1864 to 1866. 'It focussed on literary and historical themes, with some incursions into the natural sciences' and carried Gonçalves's 'Bosquejos Literários', literary critical pieces, perhaps the first pieces of modern literary criticism in Goa.<ref>Paul Melo e Castro. ''Lengthening Shadows''. 2 vols. Saligão, India: Goa, 1556, 2016. I pp. 9-10 (quoting p. 9).</ref><br />
<br />
Gonçalves is noted today as a writer of short stories, which he wrote in two series: ''Contos da Minha Terra'' and ''Aventuras de um Simplício''. They are reckoned 'some of the very first efforts to European-style literary fiction to a Goan setting' and show the influence of European [[Romanticism]].<ref>Paul Melo e Castro. ''Lengthening Shadows''. 2 vols. Saligão, India: Goa, 1556, 2016. I p. 10.</ref> Two of his works are available in English translation.<ref>Paul Melo e Castro. ''Lengthening Shadows''. 2 vols. Saligão, India: Goa, 1556, 2016. I pp. 55-69.</ref><br />
