A Spanish poet and dramatist; born at Seville, Aug. 6, 1822; died in Madrid, Nov. 4, 1891. A volume of "Poems" first drew popular attention to his genius, which is strong in lyric compositions and in odes, but strongest in the drama, as "A Dispute in Granada" and "The Flower of Bresalu" denote. His studies in dramatic criticism, especially those of the infancy of the Spanish theatre, possess a permanent value as contributions to history, in addition to their merits as specimens of a correct taste and an almost faultless style.
