Project Gutenberg 2005-06-29 Public domain in the USA. 535 Fitzmaurice-Kelly, James 1858 1923 Fitzmaurice-Kelly, Jaime 21021316 Fray Luis de León: A Biographical Fragment Produced by Stan Goodman, Pilar Somoza and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Fray Luis de León: A Biographical Fragment" by James Fitzmaurice-Kelly is a biographical account likely written in the early 20th century. This text provides insights into the life and contributions of Luis de León, a prominent figure in Spanish literature, particularly known for his poetry and theological scholarship. The author intends to correct misconceptions about de León, portraying him not just as an acclaimed poet, but also as a complex individual marked by both moral courage and human flaws. The opening of the work sets the tone for understanding Luis de León's character and his struggles, particularly his trial by the Inquisition, which frames a significant portion of his life. Fitzmaurice-Kelly discusses the historical context surrounding de León, his education at influential universities, and the challenges he faced, including his contentious relationships with colleagues and opponents. The narrative highlights de León's intellectual prowess, his dedication to his work, and the rigorous legal environment of the time as he navigated accusations that challenged both his teachings and his faith. The author argues for a more nuanced understanding of de León, contrasting the idealized version often perpetuated in legends with a more realistic and detailed portrait based on historical documents.
