Francisco Gomez de Quevedo y Villegas : [unknown]

'In looking over my note I find that I have not half said all I think of the admirable manner you treat the subject of your book in the preface. Did you ever read any of Quevedo? the Spanish wit? - whose dry humour is very pointed - His account of the different awakenings of different characters for the day of Judgement is one among many specimens' [letter to Leigh Hunt]

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Mary Shelley      Print: Book
