Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Stewart Kidd Plays MASTERPIECES OF MODERN SPANISH DRAMA EDITED, WITH A PREFACE, BY BARRETT H. CLARK A volume that will prove of unusual interest to lovers of the theatre. Brooklyn Daily Eagle. The collection of plays in this volume has a distinct value, representing, as it does, three varied aspects of the dramatic genius of Spain Echegaray, Gald6s and Guimer4, the Catalonian Nationalist. Two of the plays, the Duchess of San Quentin and Daniela, have never before been translated. Mr. Clark, the editor, who is well-known to all lovers and students of the drama, gives, in his prefaces, a concise and illuminating survey of the drama in Spain, both old and new. Each play is preceded by a biographical sketch and a complete chronological list of the dramatists works. THE GREAT GALEOTO, a tragedy, by Jose Echegaray, translated by Eleanor Bontecou (presented to the American public by Wm. Faversham, under the title The World and his Wife )an instance of Echegaray smelodramatic and essentially Spanish genius. DANIELA, a tragic drama, by Angel Guimeri, translated by John Garrett Underbill. Daniela comes to us with all the force of a new sensation, ... by virtue of the profound and tragic poetry of its theme. (I t) is of the great order. The Dial. THE DUCHESS OF SAN QUENTIN. a comedy, by Benito Perez-G aldos, translated by Philip M. Hayden. Galdos has done a rare bit of character portrayal. Cleveland Plain Dealer. All the plays are essentially racial and as such will deeply interest the student of European Drama. A rgonaut.
