Vida e carreira
Personally and professionally, Lope de Vega was friend to the writer Francisco de Quevedo and arch-enemy of the dramatist Juan Ruiz de Alarcón. The volume of literary works produced by Lope de Vega earned him the envy of his contemporaries, such as Cervantes and Luis de Góngora, and the admiration of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe for such a vast and colourful oeuvre. Lope de Vega was also a close friend of Sebastian Francisco de Medrano, founder and president of the Medrano Academy (Poetic Academy of Madrid). He would attend Medrano's Academy from 1616 to 1622, and his relationship with Medrano is evident in his El Laurel de Apolo (1630) in silva VII.
