Excerpt from The Story of the Christians and Moors of Spain Thus it has seemed to me that the eight hundred years' struggle between the Moslem and the Christian was little recollected at the present day; nor, indeed, could I find its history, romance, and poetry anywhere brought into combination. Viardot has admirably written the Moorish history, and Dozy has brought microscopic research to bear upon it; but they take history alone, and from the Moorish side. Durden's is a very good English complete history of Spain, full of matter, but many-volumed and almost forgotten and. Lady Callcott's stands nearly alone as a short popular history of great excellence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
