| biography:
| Poet, born in Puente Genil, Córdoba, S Spain. He was elected to parliament in 1886, made a senator in 1893, and became civil governor of Cádiz. He was founder and editor of the important literary review La Diana (1882-4), which published translations of many French and German writers, as well as Poe and Longfellow. He anticipated some of the novelties of modernismo in Andantes y allegros (1877), the Gautier-inspired Cromos y acuarelas (1878), La vida inquieta (1894), Poemas paganos (1896), and El jardín de los poetas (1899). The influence of Núñez de Arce and Alfred de Musset, whom he translated, is notable in the posthumous Robles de la selva sagrada (1906). |
