INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

However, few scholars know him as a significant novelist since neither his life nor his works have been thoroughly studied. This dissertation, composed of four chapters and an appendix, studies his life and works and presents some outstanding aspects of Ciro Bayo's most important novels El pere- grino entretenido (1910) and Lazarillo espaflol (1911) which clearly place him in the main current of thought and expression of the Genera tion of '98. The Introduction outlines the principal research done on the life and works of Ciro Bayo. This is followed by Chapter I which pre sents his biography. Materials treated here include references to several informative though fragmentary studies written about Ciro Bayo’s life, some autobiographical notes contained in the author's works, and documentary evidence including his academic records and death certificate. Since Bayo as a writer draws heavily on his ex periences, which provide characters, settings, situations and factual information, a thorough knowledge of his life is very useful in under standing his vovks. Chapter II is an analysis of some of the outstanding features of the writers of the Generation of '98, and includes: l) the histori cal outlook of the Generation and its concern for the backwardness
