She2ley and Calderon. By Salvador de Madariaga. (Constable. 15s.) — This book

is written in English by a Spaniard... The lan- guage and style are excellent, It is a considerable achievement. The title essay does not present any startling new aspect of! Shelley, though it shows a sincere appreciation of him. " Spanish Popular Poetry " is deeply interesting and should be read by any who propose to spend a winter in- Spain, while " The Oise of Wordsworth." shows an unusual knowledge of his poetry, and the theory that he was a teacher rather than an artist is worked out with care and detail.
