(Gilman Professor of Hispanic Studies at Liverpool University)
The end of the sixteenth century is such a brilliant period in our history that we may perhaps be pardoned for throwing out our chests, smiling glowing smiles at the recollection of 'the Elizabethan age', and forgetting the mere foreigners. As for the Spaniards in particular, they were merely the fellows we always beat. Yet, as it happens, that very period was also Spain's golden age of art and literature, the age of Cervantes, Calderon, and Victoria, of El Greco , Velazquez, and Murillo-the age of Lope de Vega.
To many English people, Lope de
Vega is merely a name. Everybody knows something about ' Don Quixote ' ; everyone who has been to the National Gallery must have seen a Velazquez; most musicians know something of Victoria's music. But Lope, greatest of Spanish dramatists, is known in England to few but Spanish scholars. Professor Peers's talk should arouse more general interest in the great writer whose birth tercentenary is being celebrated today ; an author so prolific that he turned out 1,500 plays, of which 400 are still extant-he boasted that more than a hundred of them had been written in twenty-four hours each ; incidentally, a man of action who in his youth sailed against us in the Invincible Armada.
