Hacia una biografía de fray Faustino Martínez Suárez, OSA (1873-1912)

Abstract

This study aims at reviewing life and work of an Agustinian friar who has fallen into oblivion. Friar Graciano Martínez’s younger brother has been object to hasty judgements which have caused that one of best Asturian poets’ work has gone practically unnoticed. On the other hand, this study about his life serves as a point of departure to explore the History of Spain in the late 19th century and analyze the intense work of the Agustinian friars in that time.
