Bartolome José Gallardo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bartolomé José Gallardo (born August 13, 1776 in Campanario, Badajoz province , † September 14, 1852 in Alcoi ) was a Spanish librarian, author, Romanist and Hispanist .

life and work

Gallardo studied in Salamanca and taught in Madrid from 1805, first French, then logic. In 1811 he became parliamentary librarian. The publication of his Enlightenment Diccionario crítico-burlesco earned him a three-month imprisonment. In 1814 he emigrated to London and was sentenced to death in absentia. In 1820 he returned to his librarianship in Madrid, but in 1823 again spent several months in prison. From 1835 he published his magazine El Criticón , of which 5 issues could appear up to 1836 (three more posthumously). From 1834 to 1838 he was a member of parliament. In 1841 he retired.

Gallardo left behind manuscripts of important scholarly studies that were published posthumously, most notably the Ensayo on Spanish literary history, which has recently been reissued several times.

Gallardo is considered to be one of the "defining representatives of the Spanish literature of ideas of the first half of the 19th century" (Hans-Joachim Lope).
