A Spanish dramatist; born at Guadalcanal, Badajoz, March 1829; died Dec. 30, 1879. After studying law in Seville, he went to Madrid, where he devoted himself entirely to poetry and speedily won national fame. His first drama, "A Statesman" (1851), met with immediate success, and was followed in the same year by "The Two Noblemen" and "Penalty and Pardon". To the modern comedy of manners, his specific domain, he first contributed "The Glass Roof", and in 1861 attained to wide reputation with "Percentage". Of his other works the most noteworthy are: "The Modern Don Juan" (1863); and "Consuclo" (1878), a drama. He has also written beautiful sonnets.
