DONOSO CORTES, JUAN

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 419 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DONOSO CORTES, JUAN , Marquis de Valdegamas (1809-1853), Spanish author and diplomatist, was born at Valle de la Serena (Extremadura) on the 6th of May 18o9, studied law at
Seville
 , and entered politics as an advanced liberal under the
influence
  of
Quintana
  (q.v.). His views began to modify after the rising at La Granja, and this tendency towards conservatism, which became more marked on his
appointment
  as private secretary to the Queen Regent, finds expression in his Lecciones de derecho politico (1837). Alarmed by the proceedings of the French revolutionary party in 18481849, Donoso
Cortes
  issued his Ensayo sobre el catolicismo, el liberalismo, y el socialismo considerados en sus principios fundamentales (1851), denouncing reason as the enemy of truth and liberalism as leading to social ruin. He became
ambassador
  at Paris, and died there on the 3rd of May 1853. The Ensayo has failed to arrest the
movement
  against which it was directed, and is weakened by its extravagant paradoxes; but, with all its rhetorical excesses, it remains the finest specimen of impassioned
prose
  published in Spain during the 19th
century
 .
Donoso
Cortes
 ' works were collected in five volumes at Madrid (18541855) under the editorship of Gavino Tejado.
