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.
