- 1928, Elisha Kent Kane, Gongorism and the Golden Age:
- Again, the Trimalconian banquets of the rich, with their voluptuous foods and the tragalism of the orgies too often following are parallels to the crapulous tropes of the Soledades.
- 1966, Hedley McCay, Padraic Pearse: A New Biography, page 39:
- Tragalism may easily stand out as the main feature of the Grecian tales. A rollicking roistering work like The Midnight Court of the Protestant Brian Merriman can still be a schoolboy's text for examination, but only after severe bowdlerisation and expurgation.
