Jacinto Benavente y Martínez(12 August 1866 ? 14 July 1954) was one of the foremost Spanish dramatists of the 20th century. He was awarded theNobel Prize for Literaturein 1922 for the happy manner in which he has continued the illustrious traditions of the Spanish drama." Aliberalmonarchistand a critic ofSocialism, he was a reluctant supporter of theFrancorégime as the only viable alternative to what he considered the disastrous republican experiment of 1931?1936. In 1936 Benavente's name became associated with the assassination of the Spanish poet and dramatistFederico Garcia Lorca. This happened when the Nationalist newspapersEstampa,El Correo de Andalucia,andIdealcirculated a fake news story that Lorca had been killed as a reprisal for the Republican murder of Benavente.
