| Sumario: | By concentrating on a selected group of poems and moral treatises, this article seeks to compare and contrast Quevedo’s different attitudes toward the emotional dimension of human beings. The main point of reference will be the intense and problematic relation of the author with classical Stoicism —a relation in which Quevedo’s admiration toward figures such as Seneca and Epictetus must coexist with Augustine’s rejection of Stoic apathy. Such coexistence produces evident tensions in the oeuvre of Quevedo, insofar as his advocacy of detachment and self-control collides with his encouragement to use in virtuous ways those affects that may help our eternal salvation. Quevedo’s devotional poetry goes beyond the stoical and neo-stoical outlooks on emotions. Here he proposes what can be described as an economic investment of sinful passions with the hope of attaining moral knowledge and repentance through the painful experience of desengaño. |
