HITA, GINES PEREZ DE (1544?-16o5?)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 533 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HITA, GINES PEREZ DE (1544?-16o5?) , Spanish novelist and poet, was born at
Mula
  (Murcia) about the middle of the 16th century. He served in the campaign of 15691J71 against the Moriscos, and in 1572 wrote a rhymed history of the city of Lorca which remained unpublished till 1889. He owes his wide celebrity to the Historia de los bandos de Zegries y Abencerrajes (15951604), better known as the Guerras chiles de
Granada
 , which purports to be a chronicle based on an Arabic
original
  ascribed to a certain Aben-Hamin. Abed-Hamin is a fictitious personage, and the Guerras de
Granada
  is in reality a historical novel, perhaps the earliest example of its kind, and certainly the first historical novel that attained popularity. In the first
part
  the events which led to the downfall of Granada are related with uncommon brilliancy, and
Hita
 's sympathetic transcription of life at the Emir's
court
  has clearly suggested the conventional presentation of the picturesque, chivalrous Moor in the pages of Mlle de Scudery, Mme de Lafayette, Chateaubriand and Washington Irving. The second
part
  is concerned with the author's personal experiences, and the treatment is effective; yet, though Calder6n's play, Amer despues de la muerte, is derived from it, the second part has never enjoyed the vogue or influence of the first. The exact date of
Hita
 's death is unknown. His blank verse rendering of the CrOnica Troyaiia, written in 1596, exists in
manuscript
 .
