THE LIFE OF 
LOPE DE VEGA 
The Great Spanish Dramatist 
By HUGO A. RENNERT 
PROFESSOR OF ROMANIC LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE IN THE 
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 
^HERE has been no life of Lope de Vega published 
in English since that by Lord Holland nearly 
IOO years ago. 
Professor Rennert has been able to take advantage of 
the labours of all previous workers in the same field, and 
has in addition been fortunate above all his predecessors 
in that documents were published for the first time within 
the last few years by Senor Perez Pastor, which threw a 
flood of light on many dark points in Lope’s career. 
He has made full use of all fresh data, and has 
endeavoured to record every known fact in the life of the 
poet. His biography is therefore the most thorough yet 
published, and in the opinion of Mr. Fitzmaurice-Kelly, 
the leading English authority, his biography is the 
standard life. It is consequently indispensable to every 
important library.
