Garcilaso de la Vega
Excerpt from Garcilaso De La Vega: A Critical Study of His Life and Works In this volume I have attempted first to present the actual facts concerning the poet's life. Disregarding the numerous ac counts which have no solid basis of informa tion, I have endeavored to reconstruct the story of the man as he appears in original documents. But I have not contented my self with recording specific references to him. We could form but a scanty picturefrom the scattered comments of his con temporaries or the dry formulae of notarial documents. Fortunately, however, we know something of his whereabouts during most of his life and it has been my aim to trace his career by a study of other docu ments o...

El Inca
Garcilaso de la Vega, the great chronicler of the Incas and the conquistadors, was born in Cuzco in 1539. At the age of twenty, he sailed to Spain to acquire an education, and he remained there until his death at Córdoba in 1616. As the natural son of a noble conquistador and an Indian woman of royal blood, he took immense pride in both his Spanish and Inca heritage, and, living as he did during a bewildering but stimulating epoch, he personally witnessed the last gasp of the dying Inca empire, the fratricidal conflicts that accompanied the Conquest, and the literary growth as well as the political decline of the Spain of Philip II and Philip III. Garcilaso left for posterity one of the ear...
