«A Curcio aventajado y parecido»: en torno al «Elogio al duque de Lerma» y otros poemas de Quevedo

Abstract

In between Quevedo’s relationships with power, the present work examines a poetical series dedicated to the duke of Lerma and his family, to focus specially on the «Elogio al duque de Lerma», which is a song of Pindaric roots that designs a courtesan encomium from a classical image (Marcus Curtius). As a complement, the analysis presents a comparison with Góngora’s Panegírico al duque de Lerma.
