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