Larra's most enduring works are his critical reviews and his essays on manners. This volume was published in 1847, but many of the articles had appeared much earlier in periodicals.

However, he seems to have consoled himself easily, for on his return to Madrid the following year we know of his entering upon a career of gallant adventures which were to last many years and which were scarcely interrupted by his second marriage in 1598 to Doña Juana de Guardo. Aside from his literary works the following twelve years of the life of Lope offer us but little of interest.
In his realistic works he is a careful observer and a faithful describer of life, and he is especially successful in his portrayal of the uneventful lives of the middle and lower classes.
