  Gerald of Wales

  Gerald of Wales (c. 1146 – c. 1223), also known as Gerallt Gymro in Welsh or Giraldus Cambrensis in Latin, archdeacon of Brecon, was a medieval clergyman and chronicler of his times. Born around 1146 at Manorbier Castle in Pembrokeshire, Wales, he was of mixed Norman and Welsh blood, his name being Gerald de Barri.

  Tirso de Molina

  Sus padres eran humildes sirvientes del Conde de Molina de Herrera. Luis Vázquez, en su «Gabriel Téllez nació en 1579. Nuevos hallazgos documentales», en Homenaje a Tirso, L. Vázquez, ed., Madrid: Revista Estudios, 1981, pp. 19–36, documenta que nació en 1579. Blanca de los Ríos sostuvo que Gabriel fue hijo natural del Duque de Osuna, alegando una partida de nacimiento prácticamente ilegible y hace nacer a Tirso en 1584. Pero esa tesis carece de fundamento y hoy está completamente desacreditada, ya que de ser cierta Tirso habría necesitado dispensa papal para entrar en la Orden de la Merced. Además, el Duque de Osuna era entonces muy viejo y se encontraba acreditado en Nápoles. Por otra parte, ninguno de sus enemigos contemporáneos le achac

  Michel Houellebecq

  Michel Houellebecq (born Michel Thomas), born 26 February 1958 (birth certificate) or 1956 on the French island of Réunion, is a controversial and award-winning French novelist. To admirers he is a writer in the tradition of literary provocation that reaches back to the Marquis de Sade and Baudelaire; to detractors he is a peddler, who writes vulgar sleazy literature to shock. His works though, particularly Atomised, have received high praise from the French literary intelligentsia, with generally positive international critical response, Having written poetry and a biography of the horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, he brought out his first novel Extension du domaine de la lutte in 1994. Les particules élémentaires followed in 1998 and Platefo

  Lope de Vega

  Lope de Vega was a Spanish Baroque playwright and poet.

  Christine de Pizan

  Christine de Pizan (also seen as de Pisan) (1363–c.1434) was a writer and analyst of the medieval era who strongly challenged misogyny and stereotypes that were prevalent in the male-dominated realm of the arts. De Pizan completed forty-one pieces during her thirty-year career (1399–1429). She earned her accolade as Europe’s first professional woman writer (Redfern 74). Her success stems from a wide range of innovative writing and rhetorical techniques that critically challenged renowned male writers such as Jean de Meun who, to Pizan’s dismay, incorporated misogynist beliefs within their literary works.
  
  In recent decades, de Pizan's work has been returned to prominence by the efforts of scholars such as Charity Cannon Willard and Earl Jeffr

  Marie de France

  Marie de France ("Mary of France", around 1135-1200) was a poet evidently born in France and living in England during the late 12th century. Virtually nothing is known of her early life, though she wrote a form of continental French[citation needed:] that was copied by Anglo-Norman scribes. Therefore, most of the manuscripts of her work bear Anglo-Norman traits. She also translated some Latin literature and produced an influential version of Aesop's Fables.

  Pedro Calderón de la Barca

  Pedro Calderón de la Barca y Henao was a dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age.
  
  Calderón initiated what has been called the second cycle of Spanish Golden Age theatre. Whereas his predecessor, Lope de Vega, pioneered the dramatic forms and genres of Spanish Golden Age theatre, Calderón polished and perfected them. Whereas Lope's strength lay in the sponteneity and naturalness of his work, Calderón's strength lay in his capacity for poetic beauty, dramatic structure and philosophical depth. Calderón was a perfectionist who often revisited and reworked his plays, even long after they debuted. This perfectionism was not just limited to his own work: many of his plays rework existing plays or scenes by other dramatists, improving their depth, comp
