Information About

Antonio Hurtado De Mendoza




Married at 1631 with Clara María de Ocón Coalla, have two fils, Juan (is named caballero de Calatrava with fourt months, but died as children) and Francisca.

Poetry works are in Culteranism (is a disciple of Luis De Góngora ). In Theatre make many Entremés works.

Only one of his plays, ''Querer por solo querer'', was published with his consent; it is included in a volume (1623) containing his semi-official account of the performances at Aranjuez in 1622. The best edition of Mendoza's plays and verses bears the title of ''Obras liricas y comicas, divinas y humanas'' (1728). Much of his work does not rise above the level of graceful and accomplished verse; but that he had higher qualities is shown by ''El Marido hace mujer'', a brilliant Comedy Of Manners , which forms the chief source of Moliere 's ''École des marts''.

The ''Fiesta que se hizo en Aranjuez'' and ''Querer por solo querer'' were translated into English by Sir Richard Fanshawe , afterwards ambassador at Madrid , in a posthumous volume published in 1671.
