For a fuller statement regarding them, see the last pages of the Introduction.

Aquí están los primeros cheques sobre Bhering and Brothers de Londres... Letras a treinta días sobre Rothschild. A este nombre, resonante como el mismo oro, salté velozmente del lecho. ¿Qué es eso, señor? grité.
Unlike Shakespeare, whose rare good fortune it was to establish a language as well as found a national drama, Lope de Vega took up a language which had been in use and which had served as a medium of literary expression many centuries before he was born, and with it established the Spanish drama.

She pleases most in her picturesque descriptions of the life and manners of her fellow-Galicians.

A realistic literature, therefore, that describes accurately the doings and the environment of Spanish villagers must be regional: it can not be broadly national. Pereda was, perhaps, the most provincial, the least cosmopolitan, of modern Spanish writers. An old-fashioned hidalgo, or country gentleman, he rarely left his ancestral home at Polanco, and if he did go away, he was always sorry for it.
And through it all the peninsula was rent by civil discord. Spain sank to the lowest level of inefficiency and corruption, and was forced to drink the bitter dregs of humiliation and despair.
