NUREZ DE ARCE, GASPAR (18341903)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 912 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
NUREZ DE ARCE, GASPAR (18341903) , Spanish poet, dramatist and statesman, was born at Valladolid, where he was educated for the priesthood. He had no vocation for the ecclesiastical state, plunged into literature, and produced a play entitled Amer y Orgullo which was acted at Toledo in 1849. To the displeasure of his father, an official in the post office, the youth refused to enter the seminary, and escaped to Madrid, where he obtained employment on the staff of El Observador, a Liberal newspaper. He afterwards founded El Bachiller Honduras, a journal in which he advocated a policy of Liberal concentration, and he attracted sufficient notice to justify his appointment as
governor
  of Logrono, and his nomination as deputy for Valladolid in 1865. He was imprisoned at Caceres
NUPE
for his violent attacks on the reactionary ministry of Narvaez, acted as secretary to the revolutionary Junta of Catalonia when Isabella was dethroned, and wrote the " Manifesto to the Nation " published by the provisional government on se 26th of October 1868. During the next few years he practically withdrew from political life till the restoration, when he attached himself to Sagasta's party. He served under Sagasta as minister for the colonies, the interior, the exchequer and education; but ill-health compelled him to resign on the 27th of July 189o, and henceforth he refused to take office again. He was elected to the Spanish
Academy
  on the 8th of January 1874 and was appointed a life-senator in 1886. He died at Madrid on the 12th of February 1903.
Nunez de Arce first came into notice as a dramatist, and he remained faithful to the stage for nearly a quarter of a century. In addition to three plays written in collaboration with Antonio Hurtado, he produced z Quien es el autor? (1859), La Cuenta del Zapalero (1859), !Como se empena un maridol (186o), Deudas de la honra (1863), Ni
Canto
  ni tan poco (1865), Quien debe, gaga (1867) and El haz de lena (1872). But Nunez de Arce+s talent was more lyrical than dramatic, and his celebrity
dates
  from the
appearance
  of Gritos del combate (1875), a collection of poems exhorting Spaniards to lay aside domestic quarrels and to save their country from anarchy, more dangerous than a foreign foe. He maintained his position (in popular esteem) as the only possible rival of Campoamor by a
series
  of philosophic,elegiac and symbolic poems: Raimundo Lulio, Ultima lamentation de Lord Byron (1879), Un Idilio y una Elegia (1879), La Selva oscura (1879) and La Vision de Fray Marlin (188o). The old brilliance sets off the naturalistic observation of La Pesca (1884) and La Maruja (1886). The
list
  of his works is completed by Poems comes (1895) and lSursum Gorda! (1900); Herndn el lobo, published in El Liberal (January 23, 1881) and Luzbel remain unfinished. His strength lies in the graciousness of his vision, his sincerity and command of his
instrument
 ; his weakness derives from his divided sympathies, his moods of obvious sentiment and his rhetorical facility. But at his best, as in the Grilos del combate, he is a master of virile music and patriotic doctrine. (J. F.-K.)
