Excerpt from The Romantic Dramas of Garcia Gutierrez Since the number of special works devoted to the Romantic movement in Spam is not large, and since, as far as the author has been able to ascertain, then is no work in English dealing particularly with Garcia Gutiérrez; it is hoped that this modest treatise may be of service to those interested in Spanish Romanticism end perhaps to students of Spanish literature in general. The author's own interest in this period is keen, end he hopes to do further work upon Garcia Gutierrez and his contemporaries. If by the publication of this work he can in any way aid others with similar interests, he will be more than satisfied. The first chapter of this book does not claim to be a complete biography gleaned from original sources; it is given for the convenience of those who might wish to refresh their memories upon the already known facts of the life of Garcia Gutiérrez. The author wishes to acknowledge with many thanks his indebtedness to Professor Federico de Onis, of Columbia University, for constant aid and most helpful criticism; to Professor John L. Gerig, Columbia, and Henri Chamard, Visiting Professor at Columbia, for very valuable suggestions; and to Professor Henry Alfred Todd of Columbia for his most kindly encouragement and aid at every stage of this work, including the correction of the proofs.
