Note 28 — Chapter III · THE GROWTH AND DECADENCE OF THE SPANISH DRAMA.
Reading edition
An accessible and still most useful account of the early Spanish drama is to be found in the first volume of Ochoa’s Tesoro del Teatro Español, which gives the introduction and catalogue of Don Leandro de Moratin, Paris, 1836; but the standard authority is Schack’s Geschichte der Dramatischen Literatur und Kunst in Spanien, Berlin, 1845-46. Yet, here and always, the English reader cannot do better than follow Mr Ticknor.
