Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Romance of History Spain, Vol. 1 of 3 In presenting these volumes to the public, I am anxious to establish the fact, that the tales contained in them are founded on events admitted as authentic by Spanish historians. With regard to Pelagius, Bernardo, the Cid, and other romantic personages who figure in the earlier portions of the work, neither their existence, nor the principal incidents of their lives, can for a moment be questioned, although some of their extraordinary deeds and adventures may have been subject to controversy. The poetry embodied in many of the tales is uniformly extracted from Mr. Lockhart´s most graphic and excellent translation of ancient Spanish ballads; and as it serves to throw a glowing charm over my illustrations of romantic history, the reader, I am confident, will thank me for the liberty I have taken.
