Divinas palabras by Ramón M. del Valle-Inclán

His drama is made all the more important by its influence on later generations of Spanish dramatists. Some critics consider him the leading novelist of the Spanish modernist movement. He had studied at the University of Santiago de Compostela. His elegant, aristocratic, and majestic demeanor was certainly not typically Galician. Ramon del Valle Inclan was born on Octoin Puebla de Caraminal in the northwestern part of Spain. Foreign literary trends deeply influenced his work, and he was especially indebted to the modernist movement. The Spanish novelist, playwright, and poet Ramón Maria del Valle Inclán was a member of the Generation of '98. Tone and style interested Valle Inclán most, not content he absorbed other writers' material and style but imprinted on his own works his special musical, elegant, and quasi-romantic style. A dreamy and nostalgic world of perfumes and fantasies fused in these novels with the story of the hero's many loves. Perhaps in the Sonatas Valle Inclán best revealed his art and personal style: poetical, evocative, and delightful. His later novels included Divinas palabras (1920), which evoked his Galician background Luces de Bohemia (1924), dealing with the life of bohemians Tirano Banderas (1926), set in a Latin American republic and La corte de los milagros (1927). Flor de Santidad (1904) pictures Galician life, and Los cruzados de la causa (1908) deals with the Carlist War. This four-part series, which represents the seasons of the year and corresponding stages of man, was translated into English as The Pleasant Memoirs of the Marquis de Bradomin (1924). He used himself as the model for the libertine hero of his Sonatas (1902 - 1905). He achieved renown, however, as a novelist. La cabeza del dragon (1914) was one of his most successful dramas. Cuento de abril (1910) and La marquesa Rosalinda (1913) were in verse.

His plays include Aguila de blason (1907) and Cara de plata (1922), both in prose. His symbolist verse includes Aromas de leyenda (1907) and La pipa de Kif (1919). Valle Inclan produced poetry, plays, and novels. He had held several official positions under the Spanish Republic. Valle Inclan became well known in the literary circles of Madrid and Rome, in which cities he resided.

He lost his left arm during an altercation in Madrid in 1899.
