Before passing on to the modern school of realists, mention must be made of a writer whose influence has been far-reaching. This is B
About 1605 he made the acquaintance of the Duque de Sessa, who shortly afterwards became his patron and so continued until the death of the poet about thirty years later. The correspondence of the two forms the best source for the biography of this part of Lope's career. From 1605 until 1610 he lived in Toledo with his much neglected wife, of whom we have no mention since their marriage in 1598.
His best stories are probably El sombrero de tres picos, El capitán Veneno, and some of his Novelas cortas. Of the lesser writers of stories of manners and customs, Antonio de Trueba and Narciso Campillo should receive especial mention. A journalist, poet, and writer of short stories, Trueba is best known as an interpreter of Basque life.
Perhaps his very object in these compositions drew Lope away from the culture and urbanity which distinguish him in others; but fortunately they are few. Let us mention as examples El rufian Castrucho, La Moza de Cántaro, El sabio en su casa, La doncella Teodor."
