Lope de Vega

Lope de Vega Carpio​ (Madrid, 25 de noviembre de 1562 - Madrid, 27 de agosto de 1635)​ fue uno de los poetas y dramaturgos más importantes del Siglo de Oro español y, por la extensión de su obra, uno de los autores más prolíficos de la literatura universal.

El llamado Fénix de los ingenios y Monstruo de Naturaleza (por Miguel de Cervantes) renovó las fórmulas del teatro español en un momento en el que el teatro comenzaba a ser un fenómeno cultural de masas. Máximo exponente, junto a Tirso de Molina y Calderón de la Barca, del teatro barroco español, sus obras siguen representándose en la actualidad y constituyen una de las cotas más altas alcanzadas en la literatura y las artes españolas. Fue también uno de los grandes líricos de la lengua castellana y autor de varias novelas y obras narrativas largas en prosa y en verso.

Se le atribuyen unos 3.000 sonetos, tres novelas, cuatro novelas cortas, nueve epopeyas, tres poemas didácticos y varios centenares de comedias (1.800 según Juan Pérez de Montalbán).

Amigo de Francisco de Quevedo y de Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, enemistado con Luis de Góngora y en larga rivalidad con Cervantes, su vida fue tan extrema como su obra. Fue padre de la también dramaturga sor Marcela de San Félix.
