In his satirical articles he attacks the follies and weaknesses of contemporary Spanish life with biting sarcasm and bitter invective: he criticizes not to reform but to crush. There was in him little milk of human kindness, but he was not afraid of man or devil. He tried his hand at the romantic drama and novel with little success.
In politics he was a conservative and a Carlist, and his writings evince a hostile attitude towards modernism. Pereda was the most reactionary, Pérez Galdós one of the most progressive, of modern Spanish writers; but the two men were the best of friends, which goes to show that neither was narrow.
It was formerly believed, as related by Montalvan, that he returned from the University of Alcalá to Madrid about 1582, was married and, after a duel with a nobleman, was obliged to flee to Valencia, where he remained until he enlisted in the Invincible Armada in 1588, but recent research has proved the case to be quite otherwise.
Ibanse estos en efecto con sus talegas y báculos, precedidos de un religioso con la cruz cubierta de negro, cantando el salmo In exitu Israel; y era el motivo que el corregidor Hernan Duque de Estrada, llevado de la ojeriza y mala voluntad que les tenia, por haber castigado con demasiado rigor á un sobrino suyo fraile de la misma órden, habia mandado no se les vendiesen los comestibles necesarios: de manera que sitiados por hambre los buenos frailes no tenian mas arbitrio que abandonar la ciudad.
The theater of the Golden Age of Spanish letters occupies a position unique in the history of the theaters of modern Europe, for it is practically free from foreign influence and is largely the product of the popular will.
Nos enim requirimus et rogamus Cæsaraugustæ archiepiscopum, vel illum eposcopum in cuius dioecesi presbiteratus quem acceptaveritis, fundatus extiterit et dotatus, seu eius vicarios, quod vos tamquam ad eum ex nunc præsentatum á nobis pro capellano atque presbitero illius presbiteratus quem aceptaveritis, habeant et teneant, vobisque auctoritatem conferant habendi, tenendi, et possidendi presbiteratum eundem, et vos in eiusdem presbiteratum recipiat et admittat, habendo præsentationem quam de presbiteratu ipso ex nunc pro tunc de persona vestra, ut præmittitur, facimus cartam validam atque firmam.
Hasta la puerta del salón no volvió a oírse la voz del Cura: allí resonó otra vez, declamando, reposada y patética, este versículo del Miserere: Ecce enim in inquitatibus conceptus sum: et in pecatis concepit me mater mea.
Like other modern theaters, however, the Spanish theater springs directly from the Church, having its origin in the early mysteries, in which the principal themes were incidents taken from the lives of the saints and other events recorded in the Old and the New Testament, and in the moralities, in which the personages were abstract qualities of vices and virtues.
