NEW-WORLD SPANISH SERIES
TEATRO DE ENSUEO
By G. MARTNEZ SIERRA
With Introduction, Notes Exercises, and Vocabulary
By AURELIO M. ESPINOSA Associate Professor of Spanish, Leland Stanford Junior University
The purpose of this edition of Teatro de Ensueo is to supply school and college classes with selections from one of the best and most popular Castilian writers of the present day—this present day which shows that in all its manifestations Spanish literature is rapidly approaching a second golden age. And the lasting glory of Spanish literature seems to be found in the drama.
In language and style these dramatic tales are beautiful and poetic, and at the same time easy, simple and clear.
The selections are Por el Sendero Florido, Pastoral, and Cuento de Labios en Flor.
They are easy enough for students in the second or third half-year.
