Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Spanish Prose and Poetry: Old and New, With Translated Specimens A well-known Spanish writer has complained that the average foreigner associates Spain with little beyond religious fanaticism, bull-fights, and dances. Even of the more enlightened, who are aware of her past literary achievements, few, he says, realize that her literature is a living and progressive one, and that there exists in Spain a youth in close touch with the best European thought. That an observation of this kind has been largely true with regard to the English none, I think, will deny; but there is now good reason to believe that this indifference towards things Spanish is coming to an end. It is probable (how can it be otherwise?) that though peace has come we shall find it psychologically impossible to overcome our repugnance to Germans, with their crimes and moral outlook, sufficiently to enter into social relations with them. We shall, perhaps, also arrive at seeing that in literature, as in other subjects, we have too readily taken the Germans at their own estimate; that the number of works produced by them of first-class importance is extremely small, while those belonging to the second or third class are frequently dull and clumsy. When we thus realize that we have overrated German as a means of education, we shall turn, let us hope, the more willingly to the literature of the great Latin races, and be mindful of Italian, too long out of vogue, and of Spanish, too long neglected. As to this latter, professorships have recently been founded in our universities, which will necessarily lead to a steady increase in the number of those acquainted with Spanish originals. It is, however, for the many who have no leisure for learning Spanish itself that this little book is intended. Its aims are simple.
