CHAPTERS XII AND XIII
The only summary of the period is Padre Francisco Blanco García's Literatura Española en el siglo XIX. (1891): it is extremely uncritical, and is marred by violent personal prejudices intemperately expressed. But it has the merit of existing, and embodies useful information in the way of facts. Gustave Hubbard's Histoire de la littérature contemporaine en Espagne (1876) and Boris de Tannenberg's La Poésie castellane contemporaine (1892) are pleasant but slight. Pedro de Novo y Colsón's Autores dramáticos contemporaneos y joyas del teatro español del siglo XIX. (1881-85), with a preface by Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, is conscientiously put together, and will be found very serviceable.
