Las primeras ediciones de la Vida de Quevedo por Pablo Antonio de Tarsia, y las biografías quevedescas de Ochoa y de Fernández-Guerra: de la hagiografía a la documentación de la vida de Quevedo

Abstract

Abstract Vida de don Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas (1663) by Pablo Antonio de Tarsia was the first biography of Quevedo, published eighteen years after the writer’s death. This article explores how in the following century this text was incorporated into the editions of Quevedo’s works, almost becoming a part of them. It also examines other biographies of Quevedo throughout the nineteenth century (the one by Eugenio de Ochoa for his edition of the Obras escogidas, and the one by Aureliano Fernández-Guerra for his Obras completas) to evaluate the changes in the biographies of Quevedo between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.
