  Gustavo Adolfo Becquer - LoveToKnow 1911
GUSTAVO ADOLFO BECQUER (1836-1870), Spanish poet and romance-writer, was born at Seville on the 17th of February 1836.
In such prose tales as El Rayo de Luna and La Mujer de piedra, Becquer is manifestly influenced by Hoffmann, and as a poet he has analogies with Heine.
He dwells in a fairyland of his own, crooning a weird elfin music which has no parallel in Spanish; his work is unfinished and unequal, but it is singularly free from the rhetoric characteristic of his native Andalusia, and its lyrical ardour is of a beautiful sweetness and sincerity.

(Born Gustavo Adolfo Dominguez Bastida) Spanish poet and short story writer.
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, renowned as Spain's first modern poet, is most widely recognized for his collection of tales in Leyendas (1857-64; Legends) and his volume of poetry, Rimas (1871; Poems).
Writing bitter lyrical poetry during the late Romantic period, Bécquer was set apart from his contemporaries, not by his themes of perfection, love, life, and death, but by his unique, restrained style.

 Howard A. Landman's translations of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
In addition I found a catalog with an item "Signed translation from the Spanish of Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, 'From Rimas' by Michael Smith" which may be related to Broadsheet Poetry Magazine edition 21 (June 1974).
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (1836-1870), once treated condescendingly as a naive, hopeless sentimental, has come to be seen as a key figure, in both his Rimas (Rhymes, 1870) and his Leyendas (Legends, between 1858 and 1864), in the development of imaginative and unforced expression.
His definition of poetry as 'natural, breve, seca, que brota del alma como uno chispa eléctrica...' (natural, short, dry, flying from the soul like an electric spark) captures exactly the nature of his direct, concentrated verse, which has a brevity and spontaneity reminiscent of popular poetry, and tends to eliminate all cause and circumstance.

 Gustavo Adolfo Becquer   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer nació en Sevilla el miércoles 17 de febrero de 1836, en el número 9 de la calle Ancha de San Lorenzo (actual Conde de Barajas), en una casa que en la actualidad no existe.
Protegido por su madrina y por su tío Joaquín Domínguez Becquer, importante pintor sevillano, el poeta aprende pintura y humanidades y estrecha relaciones en especial con su hermano Valeriano, que andando el tiempo se convertirá en importante pintor y protegera al poeta en momentos difíciles.
Le asisten su hermano Valeriano y su amigo Rodríguez Correa, quien, para encontrar recursos, rebusca entre los papeles de Gustavo Adolfo y encuentra la primera de las leyendas publicadas, El caudillo de las manos rojas, de ambiente hindú y de un exotismo orientalista bastante nuevo en España.
