VIRUS, CHRISTOBAL DE (1550?-1615?)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 127 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VIRUS, CHRISTOBAL DE (1550?-1615?) , Spanish dramatist and poet, was
born
  at
Valencia
  about the
middle
  of the 16th
century
 , joined the army, fought at Lepanto, and retired to his native
place
  with the rank of captain shortly before 1586. The first-
fruit
  of his leisure was El Monserrate (1587), a dull poem on a repulsive subject which had the honour of being praised by Cervantes, and of being reprinted in 16o1. Shortly afterwards Virues returned to
Italy
  and issued a recast of his'poem entitled El Monserrate segundo (16o2). His Obras trdgicas y liricas (16o9) include five tragedies: La Gran Semiramis, La Cruel Casandra, Atila furioso, La Infelice Marcelo and Elisa
Dido
 . The date of his death is unknown, but he is conjectured to have been alive as
late
  as 1614. Virues belongs to the school of dramatists displaced by Lope de
Vega
 , and his methods were out of fashion before his plays were printed; yet he is an interesting figure, chiefly because of the very extravagances which destroy the effect of his best scenes.
