Leandro Fernández de Moratín
(Madrid, 1760 - Paris, 1828) was a Spanish playwright and poet, the most relevant neoclassical comedy writer of the 18th century in Spain. He was self-taught, although in contact with the authors who, along with his father, formed the intellectual and literary elite of Carlos III's Madrid. He became known as a poet with the heroic romance in hendecasyllables La toma de Granada, awarded by the Royal Spanish Academy in 1779. His great success was El sí de las niñas, a comedy that culminates his short original dramatic production in 1806. Moratín also successfully cultivated lyric poetry and was one of the most lucid reformers of the theater.
