Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Works of Christobal Suarez De Figueroa The aim of this monograph is to describe in some detail the life and literary labours of Christobal Suarez de Figueroa. He is mentioned briefly in all the histories of Spanish literature, but hitherto no one has made a special study of his life and works. Believing that the history of his career furnishes many interesting details concerning Spanish society in the early part of the seventeenth century, and that his literary productions deserve to be better known, I have attempted to collect the chief facts of his life and to examine his books in this volume. Incomplete as it is, it may serve to shed more light on one of the most interesting authors of the siglo de oro. I wish to express my appreciation to the officials of the Biblioteca Nacional of Madrid, to the Director of the Vatican Archives, and to Sig. Cav. Barone, Director of the Archives at Naples, for their kindness in placing at my disposal the manuscripts which I used in the preparation of this work. Lastly, I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Hugo Albert Rennert, of the University of Pennsylvania, at whose suggestion this study was begun, for his constant interest and assistance.
