POEMS BY JOSÉ DE ESPRONCEDA:

JOSÉ DE ESPRONCEDA was born at Pajares de la Vega, and educated at Madrid, whence, having engaged in political conspiracies, he was obliged to flee, going to Lisbon and thence to Paris. He returned in 1833 as a journalist and playwright and represented Almería in the Cortes. He died at Madrid. Many once considered him the leading Spanish poet of the nineteenth century, but the current of criticism has set against him in later years. In his revolutionary and moral protestations he bore certain resemblances to Lord Byron, but it is not altogether fair to call him an imitator of the British poet. His Obras poéticas appeared at Madrid in 1884.
