Valentina Pinelo
Valentina Pinelo was a Spanish poet and writer at the beginning of the 17th century, during the Spanish Golden Age of politics and culture. Born into a wealthy Genovese family, at age 4 years she was sent to a convent at San Leandro in Seville to become a nun. She was in contact with certain intellectuals of the era, including the celebrated playwright Lope de Vega, who dedicated several laudatory poems to her. She wrote ''Libro de las alabanzas y excelencias de la gloriosa Santa Ana'' published by Clemente Hidalgo in 1601. This work is studied by researchers of Mariology. A street in Seville is named in Valentina Pinelo's honour.

Poet
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator ( thinker, songwriter, writer, or author) who creates (composes) poems (oral or written), or they may also perform their art to an audience. The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or metaphorically. Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the literature that (since the advent of writing systems) they have produced. History In Ancient Rome, professional poets were generally sponsored by patrons, wealthy supporters including nobility and military officials. For inst ...

Spanish Golden Age
The Spanish Golden Age ( es, Siglo de Oro, links=no , "Golden Century") is a period of flourishing in arts and literature in Spain, coinciding with the political rise of the Spanish Empire under the Catholic Monarchs of Spain and the Spanish Habsburgs. The greatest patron of Spanish art and culture during this period was King Philip II (1556–1598), whose royal palace, El Escorial, invited the attention of some of Europe's greatest architects and painters such as El Greco, who infused Spanish art with foreign styles and helped create a uniquely Spanish style of painting. It is associated with the reigns of Isabella I, Ferdinand II, Charles V, Philip II, Philip III, and Philip IV, when Spain was one of the most powerful countries in the world. The start of the Golden Age can be placed in 1492, with the end of the ''Reconquista'', the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the New World, and the publication of Antonio de Nebrija's ''Grammar of the Castilian Language''.

Spanish Baroque literature is a period of writing which begins approximately with the first works of Góngora and Lope de Vega, in the 1580s, and continues into the late 17th century. Characteristics of the Baroque The Baroque is characterized by the following features: *Pessimism: The Renaissance had been not successful in its purpose of imposing the harmony and the perfection over the world, as the humanists tried, and neither had made man happier; war and social inequalities continued; misery and calamity were common throughout Europe. An intellectual pessimism became more and more marked, together with a carefree character (of which the period's comedies and rogue narrations - on which the picaresque novels are based) give testimony. *Disappointment: As Renaissance ideals failed and, in the case of Spain, political power continued to ebb, disappointment gre ...
