PREFACE
The present volume aims to furnish American students of Spanish with a convenient selection of the
Castilian lyrics best adapted to class reading. It was the intention of the editors to include no poem which did
not possess distinct literary value. On the other hand, some of the most famous Spanish lyrics do not seem
apt to awaken the interest of the average student: it is for this reason that scholars will miss the names of
certain eminent poets of the siglo de oro . The nineteenth century, hardly inferior in merit and nearer to
present-day readers in thought and language, is much more fully represented. No apology is needed for the
inclusion of poems by Spanish-American writers, for they will bear comparison both in style and thought
with the best work from the mother Peninsula.
The Spanish poems are presented chronologically, according to the dates of their authors. The Spanish-
American poems are arranged according to countries and chronologically within those divisions. Omissions
are indicated by rows of dots and are due in all cases to the necessity of bringing the material within the
limits of a small volume. Three poems (the Fiesta de toros of Moratín, the Castellano leal of Rivas and the
Leyenda of Zorrilla) are more narrative than lyric. The romances iv selected are the most lyrical of their kind.
A few songs have been added to illustrate the relation of poetry to music.
The editors have been constantly in consultation in all parts of the work, but the preparation of the Prosody ,
the Notes (including articles on Spanish-American literature) and the part of the Introduction dealing with the
nineteenth century, was undertaken by Mr. Hills, while Mr. Morley had in charge the Introduction prior to
1800, and the Vocabulary . Aid has been received from many sources. Special thanks are due to Professor
J.D.M. Ford and Dr. A.F. Whittem of Harvard University, Don Ricardo Palma of Peru, Don Rubén Darío of
Nicaragua, Don Rufino Blanco-Fombona of Venezuela, Professor Carlos Bransby of the University of
California, and Dr. Alfred Coester of Brooklyn, N.Y.
