Eusebio Asquerino facts for kids

Eusebio Asquerino (born in 1822, died in 1892) was a Spanish poet and a writer of plays. He lived during a time called the Romantic era, which was a period when artists and writers focused a lot on feelings, imagination, and nature.

Eusebio Asquerino wrote a book of poems called Poesías (which means 'Poems') in 1870. His poems were inspired by other famous Spanish poets like José de Espronceda and José Zorilla. Some of his poems, such as 'A Lincoln' (written in 1865) and 'El obrero' (meaning 'The Worker', written in 1869), showed that he had modern and fair ideas for his time.

He also wrote many plays with his brother, Eduardo Asquerino. Some of their plays include Doña Urraca (1865), La judía de Toledo ('The Jewess of Toledo', 1843), Casada, vírgen y mártir ('Newlywed, Virgin and Martyr', 1843'), Españoles sobre todo ('Spaniards Above All', 1844), and Los tesoros del rey ('Treasures of the King', 1850).
