Los Poemas de Baltasar de Alcázar no fueron publicados por el escritor. Por fortuna, el pintor Francisco Pacheco realizó copias del único manuscrito que se conservaba.
Como escritor, demostró un brillante dominio de la métrica. Los temas que caracterizan la obra poética de Alcázar fueron un tanto triviales; por esta razón, a menudo se le etiqueta injustamente al autor como "poeta menor". Estuvo muy influido por los poetas latinos Marcial y...

Félix Lope de Vega escribió una poesía ardiente, vital y en cierto modo desenfadada. Dedicó gran parte de su vida en la composición poética aunque sea más conocido como dramaturgo. Se conservan, entre otros, un total de tres mil sonetos. Su creación lírica es especialmente intensa a partir de 1580 por su rivalidad con Luis de Góngora, momento en el que abandonará el soneto para volver a la métrica puramente española, es decir, el octosílabo....

The path to Mozart runs through his wife Constanze.
That path was lost until the discovery of a set of travel diaries, which recorded one couple's visit with Constanze and other loved ones following Mozart's death. Those diaries provided a century-old sketch of Mozart, his family, and friends that left readers wanting more. Using the diaries as a framework, All the Scattered Pages provides a provocative dramatization of what may have really transpired...
