A Spanish poet and novelist; born at Seville, 1826; died Jan. 16, 1888. A boyhood in Granada and seven years' army service gave him varied experience of life and men. From 1846 he gave himself to literature; and the plays "Struggling Against Fate" (1848); "The Cid" (1858); "A Duel on Time" (1859); "Imperial Adventures" (1864), well constructed and full of humor, won great popularity. Among his more notable novels, which circulated widely, are: "The Seven Children of Lara" (1862); "The Bloody Queen" (1883); "The Plantagenet Brothers" (1889).
