About Mariano José De Larra

  • Mariano José de Larra (24 March 1809 – 13 February 1837) was a Spanish romantic writer and journalist best known for his numerous essays and his infamous suicide.
  • His works were often satirical and critical of the 19th-century Spanish society, and focused on both the politics and customs of his time. Larra lived long enough to prove himself a great prose-writer during the 19th century.
  • He wrote at great speed with the constant fear of censor before his eyes, although no sign of haste is discernible in his work.
  • His political instinct, his abundance of ideas and his forcible, mordant style would possibly have given him one of the foremost positions in Spain.
  • In 1901, members of the Generation of '98 including Miguel de Unamuno and Pío Baroja brought flowers to his grave in homage to his thought and influence.
