Description
Excerpt from Spanish Short Stories
France and England into Spain, it was warm welcomed. The historical novel flourished beyond measure. The artificial epic in ottawa n''ma, imitated from the Italian, gave way to a flood of pseudo - historical romances which followed the lead of Sir Walter Scott and the elder Dumas. They were mostly weak imitations, carelessly done and without depth or brilliancy. The best presentation of Spanish legends was made by José Zorrilla (181 7 - 1 893) in verse: his work has enduring value. But the his torical romance turned the mind of the reader away from adven tures in classic lands or in the orient, and brought his own land to his attention. It thus caused renewed interest in the one - time native excellence of Spanish literature, and it also paved the way for the national novel of manners. The historical romance has now taken a secondary place in fiction; but it was cultivated till quite recently by so virile and popular a writer as Pérez Galdós.
