| biography:
| Satirist, playwright, and journalist, born in Oviedo, NW Spain. He joined the Carlists, and emigrated to Paris after the Second Carlist War, but returned in 1876. He caused a sensation with his play Amante y caballero, performed when he was 17; his verse is agreeable and his Romantic tendency not too extravagant; Hartzenbusch considered his play ¡Es un ángel! among the best of his time, and Enrique III (1874) was also successful. His satirical works remain largely uncollected in book form, except for Perfiles senatoriales and España demagógica (1873). His stirring, controversial novel of the Carlist troubles, Guerra sin cuartel (1885), was severely condemned in a detailed review by L Alas (‘Clarín’) in his Nueva campaña 1885–1886 (1867). |
