Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Spanish Literature, Vol. 1 of 3 The third edition of the History of Spanish Literature, differing materially from those that had preceded it, was published in 1863. In his Preface to this edition Mr. Ticknor says that it is not probable that he shall ever again recur to the task of revision, for the purpose of further changes or additions. He was at that time seventy-two years old, and the statement was doubtless prompted by that distrust of the future natural in one who had already passed the Psalmist´s allotted limit of life. But the apprehension was not confirmed by the event. Mr. Ticknor´s life was prolonged for eight years more, and these years were passed, as his previous days had been, among his books. A copy of his History was always on his table; and, retaining to the last his literary activity and his interest in his favorite studies, he constantly had it in hand for the purpose of making such revisions as were suggested by his own researches, or those of Spanish scholars in Europe. Thus the present edition is a reprint of the third, with such corrections and additions as were made by Mr. Ticknor during the last eight years of his life. The text does not differ materially from that of the previous edition, but there are frequent corrections and additions in the notes.
