Ann Radcliffe

Ann Radcliffe (born Ann Ward, 9 July 1764 – 7 February 1823) was an English author and pioneer of Gothic fiction. Her technique of explaining apparently supernatural elements in her novels has been credited with gaining Gothic fiction respectability in the 1790s. Radcliffe was the most popular writer of her day and almost universally admired; contemporary critics called her the mighty enchantress and the Shakespeare of romance-writers, and her popularity continued through the 19th century. Interest has revived in the early 21st century, with the publication of paperback reprints and three biographies. Source: Ann Radcliffe on Wikipedia.

Antonio Machado

Antonio Machado Ruiz (Sevilla; 26 de julio de 1875 - Colliure, Francia; 22 de febrero de 1939) fue un poeta español, el más joven representante de la generación del 98. Su obra inicial, de corte modernista (como la de su hermano Manuel), evolucionó hacia un intimismo simbolista con rasgos románticos, que maduró en una poesía de compromiso humano, de una parte, y de contemplación casi taoísta de la existencia, por otra; una síntesis que en la voz de Machado se hace eco de la sabiduría popular más ancestral. Fue uno de los alumnos distinguidos de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza (ILE), con cuyos idearios estuvo siempre comprometido. Murió en el exilio en la agonía de la Segunda República Española. Antonio Machado Ruiz (26 July 1875 – 22 February 1939) was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98. His work, initially modernist, evolved towards an intimate form of symbolism with romantic traits. He gradually developed a style characterised by both an engagement with humanity on one side and an almost Taoist contemplation of existence on the other, a synthesis that according to Machado echoed the most ancient popular wisdom.
