The present English version authorized by the publishers and heirs of M. Merimee is based on the third French Edition. New material of two sorts has been added however. First the translator has been allowed to utlize an annotated interleaved copy of the Precis 1922 in which the author and after his death his son Henri himself a distinguished Hispanist had set down material for the next revision. This accounts for many inserted names and phrases and some paragraphs. Second the translator has rewritten and added with some freedom. |Revival: A History of Spanish Literature (1930) | Literature
