Well, "modern" in 1908.

This is the final volume of the Harvard Classic plays.

There will now be a pause in the Harvard Classics postings. The remaining four (4) volumes need extensive work and my work schedule is getting much heavier. Of the remaining volumes, #24 (Edmund Burke) is the closest to bing finished. The three volumes of English poetry (900+ poems) will be the last ones released.

Stats: 45 of 49 for 91.84% or 4 to go.

Modern in 1908? Yeah, sure. :D I guess the guys who did this collection were really progressive and open-minded. And probably young too. :grin2:

Anyway, this volume sucks!!! Three French playwriters and only one Spaniard? :angry: Just kidding. Of course, all of them are great writers. I just don't understand the absence of Lope de Vega, who had a huge influence on Racine and Corneille (and in my opinion is superior to both of them, but that's just maybe because my French sucks :grin2: .)

By the way, Pedro Calderyn de la Barca should be Pedro Calderón de la Barca (with an ó instead of a y). In the title page, it appears as Calder n. In the introduction to the play, it is written as Calderon, which I guess might be correct in English since you don't use accents.

Only four to go! :yahoo: Great job! Take your time: we will be waiting. :)
