History of Spanish and Portuguese Literature (Vol 1 of 2)

Note 410 — SECOND SECTION. History of Spanish Poetry and Eloquence, from the Age of Cervantes and Lope de Vega to the Middle of the Seventeenth Century.

Thomasina Ross translation

The poetical registers in Lope de Vega’s Laurel de Apolo, in Cervantes’s Viage al Parnaso, and in other laudatory or ironical poems, are in no way available either for the historian or the critic. Accident and caprice has introduced many obscure names into these poems, and many of poetic merit are not mentioned.
