  Lope Felix De Vega Carpio - LoveToKnow 1911
LOPE FELIX DE VEGA CARPIO (1562-1635), Spanish dramatist and poet, was born on the 25th of November 1562 at Madrid.
Lope began his studies at the Theatine college in Madrid, and according to his admiring biographer, Perez de Montalban, his precocity was extraordinary.

Lope, in fact, in his early period, does write honor plays that are melodramatic in their violence, such as Los comendadores de Córdoba ("The Lords of Cordova," c.1597), but at the end of his dramatic career he is able to treat with tragic irony the ambiguities of this type of conflict.

 Calderon and Lope de Vega
It was Lope who earliest discovered how to hold the interest of a modern audience by the easy intricacy of his story and by the surprising variety of the successive situations, each artfully prepared for by its predecessor.
In general his craftmanship is more careful than Lope's -- although his expositions are inferior, being often huddled into a long speech or two, as artificial almost as the prologues of Euripides or Plautus, whereas Lope's opening scenes are marvels of clever presentation, taking the spectators immediately into the center of the action.
Lope de Vega was a contemporary of Shakespeare; and Calderón survived Molière, who may be called the real molder of the modern drama.

 Jesús Cora. "Two Examples of Poetic Parallelism between John Donne and Lope de Vega."
Donne’s ‘The Flea’, as opposed to Lope de Vega’s ‘La pulga...’, is a longer poem free from the sonnet’s formal limitations, and, therefore, an apter vehicle for experimentation, originality, and full-blown ingenuity.
Lope de Vega’s poem is closer to the Petrarchan model both in form and imagery, but the very occasion that the sonnet celebrates and its festive mood are a significative baroque departure from the usual Renaissance seriousness of the form.
Thus, she states that Lope de Vega’s Romancero and Donne’s La Corona belong to the first, visualisation stage, Soliloquios amorosos de un alma a Dios and the Hymns correspond to the second one, that of self-analysis, and Rimas sacras and Holy Sonnets parallel the last stage, that of direct communication and prayer to God.

 Lope de Vega - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1590 he was appointed to serve as the secretary to the Duke of Alba, which required him to relocate to Toledo and the ducal estate at Alba de Tormes.
In the 1580s and 1590s his poems of moorish and pastoral themes were extremely popular, in part because Lope --who appears in these poems as a moor called Zaide or a shepherd called Belardo-- portrayed elements of his own love affairs.
Nevertheless, Lope's most celebrated plays belong to the class called capa y espada or "cloak and sword", where the plots are almost always love intrigues complicated with affairs of honor, most commonly involving the petty nobility of medieval Spain.
