Which dramatist was English, José Echegaray or J. B. Priestley?
José Echegaray José Echegaray y Eizaguirre (19 April 1832 – 4 September 1916) was a Spanish civil engineer, mathematician, statesman, and one of the leading Spanish dramatists of the last quarter of the 19th century. He was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize for Literature "in recognition of the numerous and brilliant compositions which, in an individual and original manner, have revived the great traditions of the Spanish drama".
The Spanish Gypsy The Spanish Gypsy is an English Jacobean tragicomedy, dating from 1621-22. The play was likely a collaboration between several dramatists, including Thomas Middleton, William Rowley, Thomas Dekker, and John Ford. Like Shakespeare's lost play "Cardenio", "The Spanish Gypsy" is an English reworking of the novellas of Miguel de Cervantes, combining two of Cervantes' "Novelas Ejemplares" into a single drama.
