Note 479 — SECOND SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega to the Middle of the Seventeenth Century. (continued 2)

Thomasina Ross translation

These canciones and romances are contained in the great collection of the poems of Quevedo, published by the Gongorist Gonzales de Salas, under the Gongoristic title of El Parnaso Español, Monte en dos cumbres dividido, (that is to say, in two volumes.) A new, but very far from elegant, edition of this collection of Quevedo’s poems appeared at Madrid, in 1729, in quarto. It is divided into books, each of which bears the name of one of the muses.
