Аннотация:Francisco de Quevedo is the most frequently mentioned Spanish poet by Benito Jerónimo Feijoo, always in a positive way (1726-1760). In his essays, in which Feijoo demonstrates a deep knowledge of the quevedesque work, Quevedo is cited as a canonical author, he appears as a character, as an authority in Feijoo's controversial writings, as an authority too in his essays of Historical theme, and his work is recurrently cited by Feijoo in the passage of various subjects. In addition, the poetry of Feijoo also manifests the influence of Quevedo, both in their burlesque themes and in their linguistic resources, which constantly refer to different Quevedo passages.
