This article briefly discusses the book "Virgin Spain," by Waldo Frank. A world in transition, a society which has lost its old gods and has not yet found new, turns avidly to the study of biography and history; asks what men of other ages found to live by; how the spirit that was within them worked upon their environment and how that environment worked upon their spirit. In response to this desire we have had a flood of biographies. And in response to it Mr. Frank offers us a humanistic history, a portrait which has taken for its subject a nation.
