Perhaps the greatest of Spain's Renaissance poets, Fernando de
Herrera (1534-97), a native of Seville, was the writer who took on
board the experiments with Italian forms carried out by his
predecessors Juan Boscan and Garcilaso de la Vega (whose work he
edited and annotated), and made of them a native style. As it was
with many other poets elsewhere - such as Sir Thomas Wyatt in
England - the example of Petrarch, both directly, and as mediated
by Garcilaso, was crucial in the development of Herrera's elegant
vernacular verse in Spanish. With Garcilaso, Boscan and Herrera,
Spanish poetry takes wing. The generation that followed Herrera was
to be the greatest literary flowering in Spanish history.
