Ignacio Luzan

Ignacio de Luzán Claramunt de Suelves y Gurrea March 28, 1702 – May 19, 1754 was a Spanish critic and poet.
He was born at Zaragoza. His youth was passed under the care of his uncle, and, after studying at Milan, he graduated in philosophy at the University of Catania. In 1723 he took minor orders, but abandoned his intention of entering the church and took up his residence at Naples, where he read assiduously. Business took him to Spain in 1733, living in Monzón and he became known in Madrid as a scholar with a tendency towards innovations in literature. La Poetica, 6 Reglas de la poesia en general y de sus principales especies 1737 proved that this impression was correct.
