Flores de poetas ilustres de España

Flores de poetas ilustres de España is an anthology of Spanish poetry compiled by Pedro de Espinosa and published in 1605. This collection is significant because it includes works from many of the most important poets of Spain's Siglo de Oro, or Golden Age. The anthology's selections reflect the enduring literary judgments of later periods. Espinosa's own poetry is characterized by Baroque influences, featuring ornate language and complex, sometimes esoteric, meanings. His long poem, Fábula del Genil, is noted as a strong example of Baroque poetry, exploring conventional themes like nature and mythology with vitality.
