Manuel Polo y Peyrolón
Manuel Polo y Peyrolón (1846–1918) was a
Spanish writer, theorist, academic, and politician. He is best known as the author of five novels falling in between
romanticism and
realism; classified as part of
costumbrismo, they are currently considered second-rate literature. As a philosopher he stuck to neo-
Thomism and focused mostly on confronting
Krausism. In education he represented Catholic
regenerationism, fiercely pitted against the
Liberal current. In politics he was active within
Carlism; his career reached its peak during his 1896–1898 term in the
Congress of Deputies and his 1907-1915 terms in the
Senate.
