Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo
El siglo XVI fue especialmente convulso en los reinos hispánicos por las guerras contra los otomanos y los conflictos con los protestantes, pero también fue un siglo de grandes descubrimientos e importantes avances científicos. Testigo de su tiempo, el poeta alicantino Josep Gosalbes de Cunedo supo plasmar en sus versos el ambiente que conoció, y lo hizo bajo la estética clásica de la compleja poesía neolatina. Autor cultísimo y de vida azarosa, fue estudiante en la Universidad de Valencia, médico naval en la Armada Invencible, náufrago en el mar del Norte, preso en Holanda, médico privado en Bélgica y amigo del humanista Justo Lipsio. Pese a que su vida transcurrió principalmente en el norte de Europa, mantuvo vivo el cariñoso recuerdo de su ciudad, pues son numerosas sus referencias a Alicante. La publicación de sus obras en la Universidad de Alicante constituye de alguna forma la compensación por tantos siglos de olvido de sus versos y la recuperación de un poeta fundamental de la poesía hispánica del siglo XVI.
