Jose Ignacio Javier Oriol Encarnacion de Espronceda y Delgado
(25 March 1808 ? 23 May 1842)
[2]
was a
Romantic
Spanish poet, one of the most representative authors of the 19th century.
[3]
He was influenced by
Eugenio de Ochoa
,
Federico Madrazo
,
Alfred Tennyson
,
Richard Chenevix Trench
and
Diego de Alvear
.
[4]
Life
[
edit
]
Espronceda was born in
Almendralejo
, at the
Province of Badajoz
.
[5]
As a youth, he studied at the Colegio San Mateo at
Madrid
, having
Alberto Lista
as a teacher. When he was 15 years old, he formed a secret society named "
Los Numantinos
" alongside his friends
Ventura de la Vega
and
Patricio de la Escosura
, conspiring against
Ferdinand VII
and intending to avenge the death of
Rafael del Riego
. For this, he was imprisoned in a monastery and exiled.
[6]
Afterward, he left Spain and lived in
Lisbon
, Belgium, France, England and
Holland
. On his return to Spain in 1833, he became active in the
extreme left-wing
of Spanish political culture. Espronceda is also known for his affair with
Teresa Mancha
, for whom he wrote "Canto a Teresa" (from
El diablo mundo
). He died of
diphtheria
in 1842.
In 1902, his body was moved to
Panteon de Hombres Ilustres
, Spain.
[7]
Literary production
[

]
Having been inspired to a literary career by his teacher
Alberto Lista
, Espronceda began to write the historical poem
El Pelayo
during his stay in the monastery. The poem was never completed. Later he wrote the novel
Sancho Saldana
. His other important works include
El estudiante de Salamanca
, whose main character is Don Felix de Montemar,
El mendigo
,
¡Guerra!
,
Al dos de mayo
and
El diablo mundo
,
[3]
long
lyric poems
, the latter remained unfinished. Also important were
A Jarifa en una orgia
,
El verdugo
,
[3]
El canto del cosaco
,
La cancion del pirata
[3]
and
Himno al sol
. Many of his works display the tendencies of
Romanticism
, and along with
Jose Zorrilla
he is considered Spain's most important Romantic poet, as well as the most rebellious.
