Excerpt from Garcilaso De La Vega: A Critical Study of His Life and Works In this volume I have attempted first to present the actual facts concerning the poet's life. Disregarding the numerous ac counts which have no solid basis of informa tion, I have endeavored to reconstruct the story of the man as he appears in original documents. But I have not contented my self with recording specific references to him. We could form but a scanty picturefrom the scattered comments of his con temporaries or the dry formulae of notarial documents. Fortunately, however, we know something of his whereabouts during most of his life and it has been my aim to trace his career by a study of other docu ments of the time and of such of his poems as cast light on the events of his life, to visualize him as a person. In the study of his works, I have tried to record the results of my own investigations and my own impressions, without neglect ing the vast body of criticism which already exists. It is true that I have not included all the thousands of mentions of Garcilaso which I have noted down; they would have added to the bulk of the work rather than to its interest, for most of the praise of his verse is conventional. It has been my hope, not merely to summarize our present knowledge of his work but also to give an honest and sympathetic estimate of its value.
