| biography:
| Playwright, born in Valencia, E Spain. His comedia El mercader amante was praised by the Canon of Toledo in Don Quijote. His comedies are of three kinds: de capa y espada, such as La venganza honrosa; religious, such as El gran Patriarca S Juan de Ribera; and de ruido, such as La gitana melancólica and Los amantes de Cartago. Although his poetry is not of high quality, his epic La expulsión de los moros de España (1610) enjoyed a certain vogue. |
