Lista, Alberto

▪ Spanish writer
in full  Alberto Lista y Aragón 
born October 15, 1775, Triana, Spain
died October 5, 1848, Sevilla

      Spanish poet and critic considered to be the foremost member of the second Sevillian school of late 18th-century writers who espoused the tenets of Neoclassicism.

      At age 20, Lista held the chair of mathematics at a college in Sevilla (Seville); later (1807) he assumed the chair of rhetoric and poetry at the University of Sevilla. After spending four years (1813–17) in France, he returned to Spain and founded the periodical El censor and the Free University of Madrid. He spent most of his life trying to educate people in the Neoclassic principles of good taste, emphasizing the need for balance between form and content. His Poesías (1822, 1837; “Poems”) show faint influences of the Romantic movement. Among his best-known works are El imperio de la estupidez (1798; “The Empire of Stupidity”), a critical work in the manner of Alexander Pope's Dunciad; Ensayos literarios y críticos (1844; “Literary and Critical Essays”); and Lecciones de literatura española (1836; “Lessons in Spanish Literature”), lectures given at the University of Madrid in 1822.
