- Summary
- The book was first published in 1626, although it was previously circulated in handwritten copies, some of which are still preserved today. Quevedo never acknowledged having written El Buscón, probably to avoid problems with the Inquisition, and his silence on this work, despite being the authorship beyond any doubt, has increased the problems in the dating of its composition. Dates ranging from 1604 to 1620 have been proposed and a subsequent reworking process in which Quevedo would be working until around 1640. It follows the line of the bitter picaresque novel started by the Lazarillo de Tormes by an unknown author. Thus, questioning the determinism to which the protagonist of Lazarillo de Tormes appeals, Quevedo's is manifestly the son of his own actions and will.
