Contemporary Spanish literature
by Aubrey F. G. Bell
The literature of the last half-century in Spain is not the less interesting to study because it is largely experimental, largely negative, forming a period of transition, a preparation for a mightier future. If the writers of this period somewhat resemble stone-cutters sitting by a quarry, each diligently chiselling his separate stone, rather making ready the materials for a splendid edifice than themselves building it, their work is nevertheless necessary and important, often individually charming and delightful. That a splendid future awaits Spanish literature can hardly be doubted in view of the ever-increasing interest now taken in Spanish studies throughout the "civilized" world and the growing appreciation for the force and beauty of the most noble of living languages. - Introduction.
