By: Green, Otis Howard

"The Life and Works of Lupercio Leonardo De Argensola" is a comprehensive scholarly examination of one of the Spanish Golden Age's most significant literary and historical figures. Written by the noted Hispanist Otis Howard Green, this study provides a deep dive into the multifaceted career of Lupercio Leonardo de Argensola, whose contributions as a poet, dramatist, and historian left an indelible mark on Spanish culture.

The volume offers a detailed biographical portrait, following Argensola from his education and early poetic endeavors to his influential role as the Chronicler of the Kingdom of Aragon and his service within the royal courts. Beyond the life of the man himself, the work provides rigorous critical analysis of his literary output, including his sonnets, satires, and tragedies. By exploring Argensola's mastery of classical forms and his position within the Aragonese school of poetry, Green highlights the intellectual rigor and aesthetic discipline that defined his work. This study remains an essential resource for those interested in the Siglo de Oro, offering vital insights into the intersection of literature, politics, and history in 16th and 17th-century Spain.
