The Romantic Dramas of García Gutiérrez.
By Nicholson B. Adams, Ph. D. 149 pages. Paper $1.00.
GARCIA GUTIERREZ is one of the most important figures in the Spanish Romantic movement, and in poetic power he surpassed his contemporaries. This study gives an insight into the plays of this famous Spanish dramatist. The sketch of his life, which opens the book, paves the way for the reader to reach an understanding of the man who wrote El Trovador. The book itself, as well as the chronological list of the plays of García Gutiérrez appended to it and the list of works either partially or exclusively devoted to him, will be of valuable assistance to all persons interested in the literary history of Spain.
Martín Fierro: An Epic of the Argentine.
By Henry A. Holmes, Ph. D. 192 pages. Paper $1.00.
PECULIAR colonial conditions in Argentina created in the isolation of the pampa a striking type of horsemen: cowboys, trackers, Indian fighters, etc. These men, called gauchos, were in many respects like our western cowboys, but their unique traits call for such a sympathetic study as is made in this book. The work takes its title from that of the most celebrated Argentine cowboy poem, whose hero, Martín Fierro, sings of gauchos, Indians, and the pampa, in truly epic vein.
