  • The Supernatural in Early Spanish Literature: Studied in the Works of the Court of Alfonso X, el Sabio

    by Frank Callcott ...
    The human mind is always interested in those things that it can not understand; as soon, however, as the problem has been solved it is no longer an absorbing subject of attention.

  • History of Spanish Literature (Complete)

    by George Ticknor ...
    In the earliest ages of every literature that has vindicated for itself a permanent character in modern Europe, much of what constituted its foundations was the result of local situation and of circumstances seemingly accidental. Sometimes, as in Provence, where the climate was mild and the soil luxuriant, a premature refinement started forth, which was suddenly blighted by the influences of the ... Read more
