Juan De Mairena : Epigrams, Maxims, Memoranda, and Memoirs of an Apocryphal Professor. With an Appendix of Poems From the Apocryphal Songbooks

To the most celebrated of Antonio Machado's doubles, Juan de Mairena and Abel Martin, may be added a series which, between the stillborn and those still to be born, runs to a baker's dozen. Guillermo de Torre, in an interesting article entitled "Identity and Doubles in A. Machado," examines the question and catalogues the doubles by name. A. Sánchez Barbudo, in his Studies of Unamtmo and Machado (Ediciones Guadarrama, Madrid, 1959), also analyzes the theme of the Other in the poet. Both present invaluable data which should be known by all those interested in the problem. (S. S. P.) \* Ramón del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936). Best known for his four novellas, or "sonatas," purporting to be the memoirs of the Marquis de Bradomin, Galician Don Juan; his cutting esperpentos, or farcical pieces; and his personal legend as artist, galán, and soldier of fortune.
