Gaspar Bonifaz bajo la óptica de Quevedo
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2018) Valiñas-Jar, S. (Sandra)
The personal relationships that Quevedo struck up in the Court of Philip IV and the way that he described their friends and acquaintances in his works have focused less attention of the researchers than they should. In fact, we have scarce information about some relevant figures of the Golden Age Madrid that Quevedo included as characters of his burlesque works. This happens, for instance, with Gaspar Bonifaz, a groom of the royal stable who became the principal spy of the kingdom —el espía mayor del reino—. With the present article, the author tries to contribute to a better knowledge of this servant of His Majesty and we attempt to establish the reasons why Quevedo included him in three of his burlesque works, as well as the relationship that they could have had.
