Mature authors book in Spanish A book on the Spanish humo rist, Wenceslao Fernandez Flo rez, by Dr. Albert P. Mature, head of the department of mo dern languages at Newberry College, continues to receive critical acclaim from authori ties in the field. In a review appearing in the March issue of “Hispana,” Dr. Robert Zaetta of the University of Delaware states “Professor Mature’s critical methods are sound and his value judgements fair. By consulting first editions, he has finally set the record straight as far as dates of pu blication are concerned. It is an understatement to say that his orderly and perceptive study fills a void.” The book, “Wanceslao Fer nandez Florez y su Novela,” published in 1968, written in Spanish, maintains that Florez’ novels are far more more im portant than some critics have acknowledged. Leading figures in the Spanish literary world have been inclined to dismiss his satirical novels as mere ad denda to his journalistic career.
