Note 34 — Chapter III · THE GROWTH AND DECADENCE OF THE SPANISH DRAMA.

For an example see the Spanish Drama by Mr G. H. Lewes, 1846, a shrewd piece of criticism by one who was a good judge of a play. But Mr Lewes was too manifestly excited to revenge his own once excessive confidence in Schlegel on Calderon. Don M. Menendez’s Calderon y su escuela, a series of lectures delivered in 1881, is a very sound piece of criticism.
