María Teresa de Vega
María Teresa de Vega is a Spanish writer and poet.
She is the daughter of writer Isaac de Vega who was part of the Fetasiano group.
Lope de Vega
Lope Félix de Vega y Carpio( 25 November 156227 August 1635) was a Spanish playwright, poet, novelist and marine.
He was one of the key figures in the Spanish Golden Age of Baroque literature.
His reputation in the world of Spanish literature is second only to that of Miguel de Cervantes, while the sheer volume of his literary output is unequalled, making him one of the most prolific authors in the history of literature.
He was nicknamed" The Phoenix of Wits" and" Monster of Nature"( in) by Cervantes because of his prolific nature.
Lope de Vega renewed the Spanish theatre at a time when it was starting to become a mass cultural phenomenon.
He defined its key characteristics, and along with Pedro Calderón de la Barca and Tirso de Molina, took Spanish Baroque theatre to its greatest heights.
Because of the insight, depth and ease of his plays, he is regarded as one of the greatest dramatists in Western literature, his plays still being produced worldwide.
He was also considered one of the best lyric poets in the Spanish language, and wrote several novels.
Although not well known in the English- speaking world, his plays were presented in England as late as the 1660s, when diarist Samuel Pepys recorded having attended some adaptations and translations of them, although he omits mentioning the author.
Some 3,000 sonnets, 3 novels, 4 novellas, 9 epic poems, and about 500 plays are attributed to him.
Although he has been criticised for putting quantity ahead of quality, nevertheless at least 80 of his plays are considered masterpieces.
He was a friend of the writer Francisco de Quevedo and an arch-enemy of the dramatist Juan Ruiz de Alarcón.
The volume of his lifework made him envied by not only contemporary authors such as Cervantes and Luis de Góngora, but also by many others: for instance, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once wished he had been able to produce such a vast and colourful oeuvre.
Juan Blas de Castro
Juan Blas de Castro (1561 – August 6, 1631) was a Spanish singer, musician, and composer.
Born in Barrachina, in the province of Teruel, Spain, he was the second of four brothers.
In 1592, he became part of the court of the Duke of Alba in Alba de Tormes, Salamanca, together with his friend, the poet and playwright Lope de Vega.
During his stay, he set to music several of Lope's poems.
Both would leave Salamanca together.
In 1597 Castro became a court musician to King Philip III of Spain, and, from June 15, 1599 an usher.
He died in Madrid.
Back in Madrid from Valladolid, from 1606 he would collaborate closely with Lope de Vega, who would praise his art.
Also Tirso de Molina would dedicate him appreciative texts.
In the Cancionero de la Sablonara, eighteen of his tonos survived.
Lope and Góngora were the masters of the tono, romances with profane refrains.
On his death, 771 tonos were found, both polyphonic and of popular themes, which have not been preserved.
Most of his production centered on stage music, which has not survived either.
Pedro de Torres Rámila
Pedro de Torres Rámila
( Latin:" Petro de Torres Ramilae")( 1583— 1658) was a Spanish poet, satirist and Renaissance humanist.

He was also canon of the Complutensian church of SS.
Justo and Pastor.
He died in Alcalá de Henares.
In 1616 he submitted four poems to a contest of the chapel of the Sagrario in Toledo.
The poems are lost, and are thought to have been of little literary merit.
He signed them with the pseudonyms" Trepus Ruitanus Lamira" and" Juan Pablo Ricci".
He owes his fame to the diatribes from an Aristotelian perspective against, principally, Lope de Vega, but also against Luis Tribaldos de Tolello, Padre Juan Luis de la Cerda and José Antonio González de Salas.
He is especially remembered for the Latin satire" Spongia"( Paris, 1617), written probably in collaboration with Juan Pablo Mártir Rizo.
The original work has been lost, due to its destruction by the enemies of Torres, but it was reconstructed by Joaquín de Entrambasaguas in his" Una guerra literaria del Siglo de Oro: Lope de Vega y los preceptistas aristotélicos", Madrid, 1932.
It contained personal attacks on Lope, as well as attacks on his dramatic theory and practice as defying Aristotelian norms.
Writer Francisco López de Aguilar Coutiño, a friend of Lope de Vega, wrote" Expostulatio Spongiae"( 1618) in rebuttal.
Torres Rámila served Cristóbal Suárez de Figueroa as the model of the character of the teacher in his" El pasajero".
