Title of the Review/Article:
Some Account of the Life and Writings of Lope Felix de Vega y Carpio. By Henry Richard Lord Holland. (Article no. XVI)
Henry Richard Vassall, Baron Holland. Some Account of the Life and Writings of Lope Felix de Vega y Carpio by Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland (London: Longman, 1806).
Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland, was not only a major whig politician, but also a Hispanophile and one of the most prominent British Hispanists of the early nineteenth century. This is the first edition of the work; a second one came out in 1817 and it was reviewed in the October 1817 issue of The Quarterly Review by Robert Southey. Francis Jeffrey praises Holland’s work and its usefulness for the dissemination of knowledge about the Spanish author, but his assessment of Lope is harsher and often tinged with Black Legend clichés.
