Abstract

130
The «Satiric and censurig epistle» is a memorial instead an Horatian epistle —as it has been said—: it finds a high receptor and it have a political meaning. This false epistle by Quevedo proposes a return to the ancient Castilian values. These values are composed by roman virtues which do not have a correspondance with a specific period of Spanish history. This feature is an effective rhetoric construction for movere readers and the king’s favourite, in which we also can find modern elements.
