The posthumous reputation of Quevedo in the paratexts of his printed works and in the biography of Paul of Tarsus

Abstract

The posthumous fame of Quevedo is a heterogeneous construction that proceeds from several instances. This article describes how the author’s image is portrayed in the paratexts of his printed books in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries (1645–1726) and through the narrative that the historian Paul of Tarsus constructs of his life.
