Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Poetry and Romances of Spain I had sketched a short history of the popular poetry of Spain, and had endeavoured to trace the changes which extraordinary political vicissitudes had produced upon the literature of that interesting country; but, to confess the truth, the more I read, and the more I thought on the subject, the less was I satisfied with the information obtained, or with the deductions I was disposed to draw. I choose rather to own that I was groping about in the twilight, than to make a parade of the few memorials which I have been able to gather together out of the ruins - the splendid ruins - of other days. And I suspect, as a man grows older, if his honesty grow with his years, he will set a less value upon the sum of contribution to the mass of knowledge which he is enabled to bring.

Download or read book Legends Romances of Spain Classic Reprint written by Lewis Spence and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends Romances of Spain I have made an earnest endeavour to provide English readers with a conspectus of Spanish romantic literature as expressed in its cantares de gesta, its chivalric novels; its romanceros or ballads, and some of its lighter aspects. The reader will find full accounts and summaries of all the more important works under each of these heads, many of which have never before been described in English. If the perusal of this book leads to the more general study of the noble and useful Castilian tongue on the part of but a handful of those who read it, its making will have been justified. The real brilliance and beauty of these tales lie behind the curtains of a language unknown to most British people, and can only be liberated by the spell of study. This book contains merely the poor shadows and reflected wonders of screened and hidden marvels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Prose and Poetry: Old and New, With Translated Specimens Indirectly again (for were they not the teachers of Dante and Petrarca P) came the influence of the troubadours through Italy. The commercial intercourse between Genoa and Cata lonia, and still more the conquest of Naples by Aragon, brought the two countries closely together. Italy became to Spain as Greece to Rome. In the fifteenth century the study of Dante was the chief inspiration from without, while yet more potently in the sixteenth century Italy brought a new impetus to Spain - Petrarca and others taught her poets how to sing of love, and gave a new delicacy and variety to their verse. Spain proved an apt pupil, and, in poetry as in art, where she borrows she shows a special gift for reflecting with originality the inspiration of Others.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Romantic Legends of Spain A word regarding the circumstances under which this translation was made will be pardoned by all children of dear mothers. Mrs. Cornelia Frances Bates (1826 a graduate of Mount Holyoke in the days of Mary Lyon and the widow of a Congregational minister, took up the study of Spanish at the age of seventy-one. Until her death ten years later, the proverbial ten years of labor and sorrow, her Spanish readings and translations were a keen intellectual delight. Her Spanish Bible, from which she had committed many passages to memory, was found at her death no less worn than her English one. Even a few hours before dying, she repeated in Spanish, without the failure of a syllable, the Shepherd's Psalm and the Lord's Prayer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Ballads (Romances Escogidos): Edited With Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary The texts of the old poems are those of Wolf, or of Dimén and Menendez y Pelayo in the case of poems mat do not appear in the Primama y Flor dc Ro mances. Wolf's texts were modernized somewhat in spelling; the only further change which the present editor has made is to bring the accents up to date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads and Songs of Spain Alhama, Baza, Jaen, Denia, Moclin, Salobrena - such are the names of a few of these sentinels of the stony Sierras, and more than one of them is known to have been garrisoned as early as the age Of Roderick the Goth - three hundred years, that is to say, before the Norman invasion of England. Yet, in dealing with Spain, it is by no means necessary to retrace the events of many centuries in order to reach an abundant source of inspira tion for the poet, and a point where history and romance will be found to have become perilously interwoven.
