Bolivar : A Biographical Play In Eight Scenes, Arthur Randolph Farey

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The story of "El Libertador", Simon Bolivar, greatest figure of South American history, may be pursued through seemingly endless sources of extant written material.

Throughout the nineteenth century he remained one of the most popularized of new world figures, and although he has lost considerable identity in the United States during the twentieth century, he continues to be written about. Man Of Glory by D. …

Lo Castizo In The Theatre Of Jacinto Benavente, Lois M. Beckett Aug 1937

Lo Castizo In The Theatre Of Jacinto Benavente, Lois M. Beckett

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Jacinto Benavente, known as the creator of the modern drama of Spain, has been the subject of controversial opinions. One reason may be that he has continued to write after his own manner and ideas despite the initial reception accorded him by Spanish critics and audiences. Another cause may conceivably be that his theatre differs strikingly in outward appearance from that of the Golden Age. A third reason is undoubtedly that Benavente has come to be popular with his own people after a patient struggle against their indignation, and he has been recognized as a writer of first importance.

Some Recurrences Of The Don Quixote-Sancho Panza Pair In World Literature, J. Angie Wynn

It is not the purpose of this study to consider the influence of Don Quixote on World Literature in general, but rather to describe the imitations of Don Quixote in the works of three famous authors. These authors have each created a pair similar to Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, and each shows in his creation the influence of Cervantes' characters. These authors represent three different national literatures and three successive centuries. They are: Henry Fielding of eighteenth-century England; Alphonse Daudet of nineteenth-century France; and Jacinto Benavente of twentieth-century Spain. We have chosen for this study: Tom Jones, the History …


Neogongorismo And Gongora In Contemporary Spanish-American Poetry, Clyde M. Denton Jun 1937

Neogongorismo And Gongora In Contemporary Spanish-American Poetry, Clyde M. Denton

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

My purpose in this paper is twofold.

Secondly, I desire to show the attitude manifested towards Gongora by the contemporary Spanish-American literatos. I shall substantiate my deductions wherever possible with actual critical and poetic references.

A Critical Study Of The Spanish Picaresque Novel And A Comparison Of The Picaresque Elements With Certain Phases Of New Mexican Folklore, Elias W. Telles

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The purpose of this study is to show that since the beginning of Spanish civilization, picaresque elements existed among the Spanish people; that these elements have been preserved by Spaniards through all these centuries; and that Spaniards value the picaresque at the present time. To do this, picaresque literature will be studied from the first known novels to the present time. This peculiar form of literature will be compared with Spanish life as well and with the life reflected in the folklore of New Mexico.


Spain's Problem As Seen By Her Eminent Contemporary Essayists, Nina Porter Fatjo Jan 1937

Spain's Problem As Seen By Her Eminent Contemporary Essayists, Nina Porter Fatjo

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

The vision of a new Spain obsessed with the Generation of 1898, but this unanimity split when cause and remedy were sought. Some preached reform through the regeneration of Spanish values, other through Europeanization--an infiltration of modern though and culture from Europe.

It is the purpose of this thesis to learn by a study of the works of the leading essayists what each considered the cause of Spain's decadence and what remedy each thought the best medicine for the malady.

Rosas; A Complete Picture, Ruth Taylor Westfall Aug 1936

Rosas; A Complete Picture, Ruth Taylor Westfall

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Rosas is considered the greatest enigma of Latin American history. To some he was a monster; to others and idol. By his persecution of the cultured classes, he made his enemies famous; A gaucho and a federalist, he destroyed his own world, created a nation, and delivered Argentina to his foes. No man was more bitterly hated; nor has any other tyrant been given more attention in literature. Many South American poets in authors or remember solely for their bitter denunciations of the Rosas regime.

To get a complete picture of Rosas it is necessary to take both the contemporary …
