About the author
Born in 1864 and active during a lively period in Spanish intellectual life, Julio Cejador y Frauca was a Jesuit, philologist, university professor, lexicographer, and literary historian. He is especially remembered for the breadth of his scholarship, which ranged across classical and Semitic studies as well as the history of Spanish language and literature.
His work earned him a reputation as one of the notable Spanish men of letters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He also became known as a cervantista—a specialist in Cervantes—bringing close attention to language, texts, and literary tradition.
Cejador y Frauca died in 1927. For listeners interested in older scholarship, his writing offers a window into how Spanish literature and language were studied by a learned and ambitious critic of his era.
