Excerpt from Spanish Pastoral Drama IN the belief that a fairly intensive study must be made of the various types of Spanish dramatic literature of the six teenth century before we can properly appreciate the import ance of Lope de Vega and his contemporaries, I have here attempted to treat in some detail the development of the pas toral drama in Spain. I have included in the first chapter only the material which seemed necessary in order to show the sources from which the early plays of Enzina were derived and I have disregarded the comic scenes found in so many plays in which shepherds take part, since these belong, in my opinion, to the history of the farce. In the last chapter, I have merely tried to study pastoral themes up to the time when they were fused into the mythological and lyrical drama by Calderc'm de la Barca. I gratefully acknowledge my indebted ness to my friend and colleague, Dr. Hugo Albert Rennert, for valuable suggestions and criticisms.
