FOOTNOTES:[1]He emphasizes these views in the inaugural discourse he delivered when he took his seat in the Academy.[2]That he knew this, and to a degree was willing to admit his shortcomings, is made clear by his preface to theNovelas Cortas, where he sets up as mitigating circumstance his own youth and the newness of the short story in modern Spanish literature.[3]The two may be said to complete each other, the original preface giving the account of Alarcón's first dealings with the subject, the other telling of the real writing of the book. In the preface he says that the material was turned over at first, in conference, by a number of literary men, at some date not given, but evidently of the earlier part of Alarcón's career: and that it was "assigned" to José Joaquín Villanueva, who planned azarzuelawith the titleEl que se fue a Sevilla, but died before his work was fairly under way. Nothing more was done until 1866, when José Zorrilla came back to Spain from Mexico. The matter was suggested to him and he planned a comedy, but did not write it. In theHistoria de mis libroswe read that the idea of working out the theme came back to Alarcón in connection with the promise of a short story to a popular periodical in Havana; that his interest grew as he worked at it, and that he was led by the merit friends found in the story to keep it for the Madrid public.(Seepreface to first edition ofEl Sombrero de tres picos, Madrid, 1874, beginning withchabacanería; i. e. after p. 4, line 15 of the present text; AlarcónHistoria de mis libros, pp. 244-249).[4]Revue Hispanique.Tome XIII, 1905, pp. 5-17.
