Pérez de Hita, Ginés

Pérez de Hita, Ginés

▪ Spanish author
born 1544, Mula, Murcia, Spain
died 1619

      Spanish writer, author of Historia de los vandos de los Zegríes y Abencerrages (1595–1619; “History of the Zegríes and Abencerrages Factions”), usually referred to as Guerras civiles de Granada (“The Civil Wars of Granada”). The book is considered the first Spanish historical novel and the last important collection of Moorish border ballads, the latter punctuating the book's narrative.

      Pérez de Hita fought in the suppression of the revolt of the Moors in the Alpujarras mountains (1568–71), an event that is reflected in the second part of his Guerras. The first part deals with Moorish life in Granada before the Christian conquest of that city in 1492. The first part's portrait of the chivalrous Moorish family of the Abencerrages established the stereotype of the romantic Moor in European literature, a type imitated in Madeleine de Scudéry's Almahide (1660), Marie-Madeleine de La Fayette's Zaÿde (1670), François de Chateaubriand's Aventures du dernier Abencérage (1826), and Washington Irving's Conquest of Granada (1829).
