Leopoldo Augusto de Cueto

Leopoldo Augusto de Cueto combined diplomacy with literary criticism and scholarship. Born in Cartagena in 1815, he assembled the extensive anthology Poetas líricos del siglo XVIII for the Biblioteca de Autores Españoles. After his American posting he entered the Real Academia Española in March 1858. He was also known by his title, Marquis of Valmar. ^{1, 2, 3}
