(“In view of our large and increasing trade relations with these neighbors of our hemisphere, it would seem as if instruction in Spanish should hold the right of way; yet it finds a place, and a minor one at that, in few public school curricula." The author believes that few teachers of German present their subject in a critical way. They stress only the admirable features of German civilization, keeping their students in the dark concerning the sinister side of things German. He therefore thinks that German should be abolished in the public schools, for the present at least.)

III. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

The list of books that comprises our GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY in this number represents to the value of about $100 some of the best material that appeared in Spain in 1917. As an analysis of that list, the following notes may not be entirely devoid of interest.

[ocr errors]

Among cultivators of the drama we meet the Álvarez Quintero brothers with the one-act comedy, Los ojos de luto, and a comic opera entitled La casa de enfrente; Linares Rivas with a two-act comedy, Como hormigas .; Martinez Sierra with Para hacerse amar locamente; Rey Soto with Amor que vence al amor; Rincón Lazcano and Montesinos with a musical comedy, La Alcaldesa de Hontanares; and the great Catalan dramatist Guimerá, who won a triumph with his peace play, Jesús que vuelve. To these we should add El rey ciego, a tragedy in three acts and in verse, by Adolfo Aponte. The town council of Madrid has announced an open public literary contest for plays of three or more acts. The jury unanimously awarded the prize to Adolfo Martinez for the above-mentioned play, which later was staged with great success in the Teatro español in Madrid.

For criticism of the ultra-modern drama we have a volume by Ramón Pérez de Ayala entitled Las máscaras, which is announced as volume I of a series of such essays. It contains critical articles concerning certain works of Galdós, Benavente, the Alvarez Quintero brothers, Arniches, Villaespesa, and Morano.

The novel is represented by José Francés with La peregrina enamorada; Hoyos y Vinent with Los cascabeles de Madama Locura and Novelas aristocráticas; López de Haro with Los nietos de los celtas; Pedro Mata with La catorce; and Carrère with La voz de la conseja, which is a selection of some of the best short novels and tales by a goodly number of the leading writers. To these should be added Paraíso perdido by Joaquín Dicenta, who died last year, and of whom we already have a posthumous work entitled Mujeres (estudios de mujer). Nor should we forget the second edition of Volvoreta by Wenceslao Fernández-Flórez. This is a novel that was awarded a prize in a public contest held by the Círculo de Bellas Artes.

Scholarly criticism and critical reproductions of classical works are fairly well represented in the list. Of Cervantine criticism we have the following works: By the brilliant literary historian, Bonilla y San Martín, De critica cervantina; by the distinguished Mexican Ambassador to Spain, Icaza, Supercherias y errores cervantinos puestos en claro; and a Spanish transla→ tion by Solalinde of the volume on Cervantes by the Italian scholar Paolo Savj-Lopez. Of that mordant critic Clarín we have an interesting volume of selections with a prologue and commentary by his brilliant successor, Azorín. Scholarly critical editions are represented as follows: Cervantes' La ilustre fregona is by the National Librarian, Rodríguez Marín, who thus once more puts under obligation to him all scholars who are interested in the twelve scintillating Novelas ejemplares. Juan de Dios Huarte's Examen de ingenios, a work which was written in 1575, has just been recast with a prologue by Federico Climent Terrer. This work is volume VII of a set called Biblioteca de Cultura y Civismo, and is a careful study, brought up to date, of the conditions which distinguish each individual in order to determine his aptitudes. The Junta para ampliación de estudios e investigaciones científicas, through its Centro de estudios históricos, has published three important works. The first two are: Vélez de Guevara's La serrana de la vera (by that unequaled pair of scholars, Menéndez Pidal and his wife), and Rojas Zorrilla's Cada qual lo que le toca and La viña de Nabot (by Américo Castro). These two works form volumes I and II of a series entitled Teatro antiguo, español. The third work is entitled Dos romances anónimos del siglo XVI (by H. Thomas).

Those of our teachers who are interested in historical matters, treated scientifically and yet not technically, will welcome the following works: Honorio Alonso Rodríguez, Algo sobre la fundación de la Orden de Calatrava (this order has always disputed the primacy of foundation with that of Santiago, and the present author supports the claim of Calatrava); Julio Hoyos, El Solar de Arias Gonzalo (which deals with the celebrated events connected with the early history of Zamora); and Eduardo de Laiglesia, La mujer en los libros de caballerías (which is a lecture that was delivered before the Unión de damas españolas).

Those who are interested in the biography of great characters will find much to interest them in the two volumes of the Recuerdos de mi vida by Ramón y Cajal. The first volume is devoted to the author's infancy and

youth, and the second to his scientific labors. Both volumes are highly illustrated and the edition here mentioned is the second edition. For those who do not care to read the life of the greatest histologist in the world today, but who prefer to read the lives of saints and martyrs and of those less saintly, we mention Eugenio Noel's Vidas de santos, diablos, mártires, frailes, clérigos y almas en pena; and for those who are interested in mysticism we recommend the Castillo interior of Santa Teresa de Jesús in the new edition collated from the original manuscript by Luis Carlos Viada y Lluch, and preceded by a eulogy of the saint by Miguel S. Oliver.
