In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

result may be consistent or it may be inconsistent with Calderón's own archetypal framework. Honig's explorations, especially with La devoción, are too often inconsistent therewith, and his reader should be on his guard, unless he too already dismisses as an inadequate critical tool the discipline of textual interpretation, without which no term can be set to the subjectivism and arbitrariness of the critics. Several errors or sHps have been noted, of which the most important are these. It is several times repeated that Eusebio's body is carried off with JuHa to heaven by the Cross. Actually it remains on the stage; in any case it is not to heaven that Julia is carried, but back to the convent. That Eusebio and Julia should be saved together appears to be necessary for the allegoricomythical interpretation. Is it consequently a case of needing to read into the text what is not there? On p. 182 the extraordinary statement is attributed to me that the allegories of all the late autos are untheological, this being a statement that I made exclusively of Los alimentos del Hombre, an auto so exceptional in this respect that it needs a special explanation. The quotation from La vida on p. 166 does not have the customary clarity of Honig's very fine translations; in Hne 237 "Hfe" renders the "muerte" of the original (given on p. 257). Muerte is the reading of P and VT; this was unnecessarily emended to vida by Krenkel ; Honig has used two different texts. "EDITOR'S NOTE: Although a review appears elsewhere in these pages, it seemed appropriate to offer A. A. Parker space in which to give his opinion of the book, particularly so in view of the reservations expressed by Edwin Honig concerning the British School's approach to criticism. Prof. Parker was kind enough to prepare this note at the request of the Editor. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PUBLICATIONS ON THE COMEDIA Compiled by Vern G.
