It is a regrettable\u00a0fact that one of the most gorgeous and passionate outbursts\u00a0of national dramatic genius has received but scant attention\u00a0from English readers. Cervantes&#8217; name is at least not unknown to the great mass of readers in every language, but\u00a0to the majority of English and Americans, Lope de Vega,\u00a0Tirso de Molina, and Calderon \u2014 to mention only the greatest\u00a0of dozens of dramatists of the time \u2014 are a closed book. About\u00a0fifteen Calderon plays are available in some form in English\u00a0translation or adaptation, only two or three of Lope and, to\u00a0my knowledge, not one of Tirso. Of the eighteenth century\u00a0lesser lights I should venture to say that there is in English\u00a0no translation. The case is the same with the dramatists\u00a0of the early nineteenth century, if we except one or two\u00a0notable translations and studies, like that recently issued by\u00a0the <a href=\"http:\/\/hispanicsociety.org\">Hispanic Society<\/a> (a translation of <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/newdramaundraman00tamauoft\"><em>Un drama nuevo<\/em><\/a>).\u00a0And yet this period saw a rebirth of the national spirit in\u00a0the drama unequalled in any other country save France.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Barrett H.
