Synopsis

Excerpt from Fray Luis De Leon: A Biographical Fragment

In dealing with his Spanish poems, I have tried not to put his claims to con sideration too high. Laboulaye, in La Liéerte're/zgieuse, calls Luis de Leon 'le premier lyrique de l'europe moderne'. This phrase dates from 1859, and was ad dressed to a generation which delighted in arranging authors in something like the order of a class list. Though I have the highest opinion of Luis de Leon's genius, I have not felt tempted to follow Labou laye's example; I have by preference dis cussed, so far as space allows, such points as the probable chronology of Luis de Leon's poems. Once more I repeat that this is a chapter of a book that will now never be written.
