Works

Boix wrote ''El encubierto de Valencia'' in 1852 and earlier he wrote ''Historia de la ciudad y reino de Valencia'' in three volumes in 1845. His ''Obras poéticas'' appeared in two volumes in 1850 and 1851, ''Poesías históricas y caballerescas'' and ''Poesías líricas y dramáticas''. A much broader selection of his work is in ''Obras literarias selectas'' which was written in 1880. ''El encubierto de Valencia'' was based on the life of El Encubierto, a mysterious rebel who claimed to be the rightful king of Spain who had been hidden away.
