Book excerpt: John O'Keeffe (24 June 1747-4 February 1833) was an Irish actor and dramatist. He wrote a number of farces, amusing dramatic pieces and librettos for pasticcio operas, many of which had great success. Among these are Tony Lumpkin in Town (1778), Love in a Camp (1786), and Omai (1785), an account of the voyages of the Tahitian explorer Omai, and Wild Oats (1791).In 1777, O'Keeffe moved to London. The following year he wrote Tony Lumpkin in Town, a sequel to Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer, and sent it to the manager of the Haymarket Theatre. The play was successfully produced, and O'Keeffe regularly wrote for the Haymarket thereafter. In 1782 O'Keeffe had his two children sent abroad to France to deny access to them by their mother. His son did well but his daughter suffered in convent schools.

I must leave what I wrote - l in the midst of the stirring scenes of the inter regnum between the secular monarchy and the short-lived Republic - whose advent I foresaw, but whose sudden fall was veiled from my san guine vision without defense or apology, claim ing only that it was written in good faith, from a heart filled with passionate convictions and an ardent love and devotion to what is best in Spain. I recorded what I saw, and my eyes were bet ter then than now.

Download or read book Types From Spanish Story written by James Mew and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types From Spanish Story: Or the Old Manners and Customs of Castile Though most of the types or stories of incident or character referred to in this volume arc part and parcel of the common stock of furniture possessed by the most modest literary housekeepers, a preface may be required to explain to others with less leisure for reading whence they have been derived. They have, then, been selected chiefly from works which may be taken to represent the classic literature of romance in Spain. In their chronological order they may be thus briefly mentioned: - Lazarillo de Tormes appeared in 1553. It was written by a Spanish classic, Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a man of ancient and noble family, poet, historian, philosopher, politician, and general in the brilliant age of Charles V., of Francis I., and of Henry VIII. Another Scipio, he devoted himself at once to war and letters. He distinguished himself in the collection of Greek and Latin MSS. He was a rare Arabic scholar. His licentious disposition brought him into many scrapes. Having, for instance, in an affair of gallantry summarily disposed of a rival by throwing him out of a window, he was clapped in prison for it, where he spent his time in composing love-songs. His history of the war of Granada may be compared with the work of Sallust or Machiavelli. He was the author of numerous other books, of which the most distinguished is the "Lazarillo," a masterpiece of satiric humour, even after the Inquisition had torn out some of the best portions of it with its holy claws. It is the origin of the guilo picaresco in Spain. Guzman D'Alfarache appeared in 1599. It was written by Mateo Aleman, a native of Seville, an author of considerable eminence in the reign of Philip II. Like Mendoza, he was a man of genius and a scholar.

Download or read book Andalucia written by Lisa Marie Basile and published by . This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of intimately interwoven vignettes, Andalucia paints an engulfing dreamscape, at once lush and treacherous, both pale and aflame. The speaker in these poems has fallen in love with some sort of colorless and exotic hell. Disturbed by her "bad girl" past, laden with guilt and abuse, she revels in the sea, in the arms of centaurs, inside of tear jars. Like an antique travel diary turned mythic, Andalucia illuminates the simultaneous feelings of elation, delusion, and fear that go along with letting oneself get lost in one's own land. "Drunk and dolorous, talkative and handsome, Lisa Marie Basile's chapbook Andalucia is a perfect confection of decadence decorated with hounds and leopards. Sweet and old-fashioned like an exotic candy you can't quite place, you will want to devour it. "You don't need a sea to be happy / do you?" No, you just need to read Andalucia by Lisa Marie Basile." -- Kathleen Rooney, author of Oneiromance (an epithalamion)
