“The volume, despite its shortcomings, should be owned by every Hispanophile; it represents a pioneer-effort in a field agape with pitfalls, and, however much one may criticize the result as it now stands, Dr Walsh, by the mere fact of having initiated it and brought it forth, has earned the thanks of his fellow enthusiasts.” I: Goldberg

“Mr Walsh has not only edited this volume, providing it with valuable typographical and critical notes, but he has supplied it with the bulk of the translations, translations which show him possessed in an uncommon degree of one of the most valuable, as it is one of the most unselfish of literary gifts.” R: Le Gallienne

“The plan of his anthology is remarkable for its comprehensive inclusion of selections from the work of every significant figure in Hispanic poetry from the unknown author of the ‘Poema del Cid’ to the latest of Porto Rican modernistas, born in 1898. Equally important, and especially so from the point of view of the American reader unacquainted with the Spanish language, is the finely judicious selection which Mr Walsh has made in choosing not only the original Spanish poems most representative of their authors but the translations into English which constitute the anthology. For the most part these translations are of highly poetic quality.” L. R. Morris
