Book Description
Excerpt from Spanish Drama Before, Lope De Vega Seventy years have passed since the first appearance of Adolph Friedrich von Schack's Geschichte der dramatischen Literatur und Kunst in Sponien, the first part of which was devoted to a study of the predecessors of Lope de Vega, and while many critical studies have been written upon individual dramatists and many plays, not mentioned by Schack, have been discovered and published, no attempt has been made since that time to write a history of the earlier Spanish drama. Limitations of space have prevented me from attempting to write a detailed history of the Spanish drama before Lope de Vega, but I have tried to give at least an outline of the development of dramatic literature in that period. I am fully aware of the fact that the picture which I present is incomplete, but it is my hope that I have succeeded in presenting here the results of the studies of my many predecessors, as well as of my own reading, and that this little book will serve as a starting-point for further investigation in a subject that offers so much of interest. I have limited myself to a consideration of the drama in the Spanish language, and have, therefore, paid little attention to the plays of that period written in Catalan and Valencian. With considerable regret, I have included only the Castilian plays of Gil Vicente, and the plays in which the Castilian element seems to predominate, and I have not even touched upon the many disputed points in the biography of the great Portuguese poet. I wish to express my gratitude to my friend and colleague, Professor Hugo A. Rennert, for his kindness in reading my manuscript.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Staging of Lope De Vega's Comedias With the establishment of the first two permanent play-houses or corrales in Madrid, that in the Calle de la Cruz, in 1579, and the one in the Calle del Principe, in 1582, we may readily imagine that things were somewhat improved. Here, at all events, was a fixed stage, with seats for the auditors, which was a great step forward. Now, as nearly as we can determine, Spain's greatest dramatist, Lope de Vega, began to write for the public stage about 1585, or very shortly after the establishment of the Corral del Principe, to which theatre we also know that Lope, prior to 1588, was a very frequent visitor. In the absence of any definite information upon the point, it has seemed to me that an examination of the plays of Lope de Vega might throw some light upon the manner in which the comedia was put upon the stage in the latter part of the sixteenth, and the early years of the seventeenth centuries.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Dramatic Art of Lope De Vega: Together With La Dama Boba The large amount which Lope de Vega wrote for the stage manifestly demands a voluminous study of his art to do him full justice. The limited essay here presented may consequently be considered inadequate, and many points which could or ought to be included will be missed. Of that I am aware. But within the confined scope of this attempt my object became twofold: first, to indicate by brief hints along what lines a more detailed investigation could be instituted by someone better fitted than myself, and second, to have, at a future date, some justification for continuing an examination of the many items of interest which Lope constantly suggests. I have refrained from comparing the great Spaniard with other master writers for the theatre, for the obvious reason that it seemed to me more important to outline first an objective presentation of the material derived from Lope himself. Comparative studies in literature are futile and unprofitable to the reader who is not well acquainted with all the elements compared. Moreover, comparisons frequently lead to unjust conclusions whenever they attempt to prove that one writer is greater than another instead of analyzing in an unbiased manner how their delineation and interpretation of life are related. The offhand assertion is frequently to be met with that Moliere and Shakespeare are much greater than Lope de Vega, and yet the writers of such statements too often repeat merely a traditional catch phrase; they do not prepare the ground by adding a just and indispensable picture of the economic and social background which accounts for much that is unique in Lope de Vega's art. The most satisfactory studies of Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Moliere and other master playwrights are those based on direct objective analysis of their productions, and the principles or formula of their art. With these before us, a comparison may profitably be instituted which will further illuminate their methods of composition or reveal the extent to which they held a mirror up to the form of society in which they moved.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Lope De Vega: 152-1635 During the many years that I have been reading Lope's miscellaneous productions - by which I mean his non dramatic works, - and his comedias (of which I possess an almost complete collection), it has often occurred to me that I might summarize the chief events in the romantic career of the great poet who had for so long been my favourite author. On the appearance of the Proee: o I began to revise the notes I had made in the course of m reading, and determined to print them in the present orm. The idea of discussing Lope's works, especially his most important plays, had to be abandoned, as it would have made the book too bulky, or rather would have furnished material enough for several volumes.
