Abstract
-
en_US
Fifty-one fables with notes and vocabulary and perhaps six illustrations in all. The authors represented are Iriarte (sixteen fables), Samaniego (eighteen), Hartzenbusch (three), Barroz Grez (ten), and Campoamor (four). The introduction advises setting aside the literary morals of Iriarte and then the truths expressed are applicable to human nature in general (viii). The same introduction notes that nineteen of Samaniego's 157 fables are original, the others being imitations of Aesop, Phaedrus, La Fontaine, and Gay. The introduction also offers simple help on the Spanish prosody here. Unfortunately, the only notes indicate the metrics for each poem. The vocabulary at the back is extensive. Of the three fabulists that are new to me, I find Barroz Grez the easiest to understand, e.g. in Juan Lanas on 74.
