Rosalia de Castro is today the unquestioned poet laureate of Galicia . Highly educated, expected to speak and write Spanish only, she took the bold, unconventional step of writing her early poems in the Galician language. Her defiance earned her the contempt and spite of that segment of the population for whom Galician was a dialect fit only for the illiterate and the churlish; but Rosalía's gallant gesture won her the love and admiration of the rest. Schools in Galicia, in Spain, in Russia and in Uruguay, libraries, cultural associations, awards, parks, folklore groups, choirs, compositions of her poems, a Galician traditional morning song adorned with the lyrics of one of her poems, a professional sports team, monuments at home and abroad, a theater, restaurants, a label of white wine, lodgings, a money bill formerly in circulation, a postage stamp, a FS98 Iberia Airbus A340, a sea-rescue plane, and many streets have all taken her name.

In the English-speaking world Edwin Mellen Press is currently (2010) publishing "the most thorough and representative volume of poetry and prose from Rosalia de Castro (1837-1885) ever translated into English." In 2007 Shearsman Books presented a paperback of selected poems translated by Michael Smith. In 2004 Louis J.
