Summary:

"Modern Spanish Lyrics" by E. C. Hills and S. Griswold Morley is a scholarly collection of Spanish poetry designed for American students, likely compiled in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a curated selection of Castilian lyrics that are both accessible and of notable literary value, touching upon themes and styles relevant to students of the Spanish language. While renowned poets from Spain's Golden Age are included, the collection emphasizes 19th-century works, reflecting a shift toward more contemporary thoughts and language. The opening of the volume presents a preface outlining its purpose and structure, highlighting that the poems are organized both chronologically and by region, with a focus on the poetic traditions of Spain and Spanish America. It acknowledges limitations in selecting works, allowing for significant 19th-century contributors while intentionally omitting some of the more famous, yet less engaging, poets from earlier periods. The editors express gratitude to various scholars and poets who contributed to the project, setting a tone of academic collaboration and dedication to fostering an appreciation of lyrical poetry among students.
