Calderon's "La Nave Del Mercador": Auto Sacramental, S. Hugh Fitch Aug 1950

Calderon's "La Nave Del Mercador": Auto Sacramental, S. Hugh Fitch

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The definitions of the Auto sacramental which have been devised over a period of three hundred years, from Lope de Vega to the present day, vary from the strictness of: "el auto sacramental, cuyo tema es exclusivamente el dogma de la presencia eucaristica," to the opposite extreme of "No era esencial al auto la materia eucaristica, ni lo fue nunca, en ninguna epoca de su historia."

The Poetry Of Rafael Alberto Arrieta, William W. Moseley

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

It is with the Post-Modernist group that we are concerned in this study, for it is in this direction that the poetry of Rafael Alberto Arrieta leads. The poetic expression of Arrieta is not, however, a conscious, deliberate rebellion against Modernism. Arrieta was born in the 1889; he therefore grew up under the influence of Modernism. The most formative years of his life were spent while Modernism dominated the world of poetry. Yet Arrieta had the literary integrity to express his own personality in spite of the prevailing influences.
