 THE POETRY OF FRANCISCO DE QUEVEDO
Quevedo could only read 17 of his compositions printed in the famous anthology The Best of Illustrious Poets by Pedro de Espinosa (1605), or loose works published in different collections of ballads.
At one point, Quevedo´s most spiritual love poetry was contrasted to his real situation: his disastrous marriage with his burlesque poetry of pícaras and prostitutes.
Other of Quevedo´s great reading material was, without doubt, that of the Latin poet Marcial, of Aragonese origin, who offered him interesting models of satirical poetry which he frequently translated or adapted.

  Biografia de Francisco de Quevedo
Problemas de corrupción en el entorno del conde-duque provocaron que éste empezara a desconfiar de Quevedo, y en 1639, bajo oscuras acusaciones, fue encarcelado en el convento de San Marcos, donde permaneció, en una minúscula celda, hasta 1643.

  Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645)
Todo un cúmulo de contradicciones, navegando entre lealtades a toda prueba, inmerso en un escenario mediocre que camina en mitades; una, hacia la pobreza alucinante del pueblo; la otra en la Corte, donde pretendientes y cazafortunas caminan, desvergonzados, por los caminos de una picaresca irrefrenable.
Todos ellos envueltos en una acuciante dicotomía de ‘vida y muerte’ constantes en una sátira, a veces degradante, pero siempre viva e incisiva y donde –en ocasiones– hay remansos de poesía pura.
Díganlo también muchos de sus sonetos ‘brevedad de lo que se vive y cuán nada se parece lo que se vivió’, lo que a fin de cuentas sería un combate sin tregua, sin punto de descanso cuyo trágico protagonista sería un personaje que responde al nombre de Francisco de Quevedo, compendio de laconismo lapidario.

This report analyses Quevedo's translations of his Marco Bruto preliminary texts, titled Jvicio qve de Marco Brvto hizieron los autores… Inserting the Juicios among the other introductory passages reveals their double function: to introduce the protagonists and to guarantee authority to the work by a pseudo-objective translation.
Quevedo, in his criticism of Gongorism, condemns not only excessive latinisms and far-fetched metaphors but also lexical enjambment (the division of one word between two lines of poetry) and syntactical displacements.

Quevedo's five dream-visions, published as Los Sueños, are remarkable satires, amusing hellish imaginings that have endured remarkably well.
It's not your usual fawning plea; no, Quevedo knows: "So perverse a fellow are you that I place you under no obligation by addressing you as pious, benevolent or kind as other books do".
The right one is "full of rough and impassable places", and only a few struggle along it -- people who "left upon the way their skin or an arm, or even, in some cases, a foot or a head".

Francisco de Quevedo was a Spanish author who held positions at the royal court.
Noting that the founder of Stoicism, Zeno, was of Semitic origin, Quevedo claimed that the biblical account of Job's heroic endurance in the face of adversity was the inspiration behind Stoic philosophy.
The doctrines of Epictetus are thus, suggests Quevedo, simply formal ethical principles extrapolated from the actions of Job.
