About this book
Fray Luis de León: A Biographical Fragment is by James Fitzmaurice Kelly. The preface calls the work a biographical sketch that is, in fact, a fragment of a book which will now never come into existence. The preface says the name of Luis de Leon deservedly ranks as high as that of any poet in the history of Spanish literature, but that his reputation as a poet is mostly local.
The text says the conception of Luis de Leon as a meek spirit, an unresisting victim of malignant persecution, is not the sole view tenable of a complex character. The text asks what Luis de Leon's full name was, and whether it was Luis Ponce de Leon.
