## Bio

Jacinto Benavente y Martínez was born on 12 August 1866 and spent the better part of his life writing for the Spanish stage. By 1922, the Nobel committee singled him out as one of the foremost dramatists of the century, citing the way he'd sustained Spain's illustrious theatrical lineage. The prize came midway through a career that would stretch across decades of political upheaval and social change. He continued working until his death on 14 July 1954, leaving behind a body of work that had defined Spanish drama for two generations.
