  Fernando de Rojas

  We know little information about Fernando de Rojas, a Castilian author.
  
  He wrote La Celestina , originally titled Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, in 1499. People see this description of a tragic love affair as the beginning of literary Renaissance of Spain. The author published anonymously but revealed his name and famous birthplace in an acrostic code at the beginning of the second edition in the year 1500. None of his contemporaries mention him, and we know of no other work.

  Federico García Lorca

  Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.

  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
