La construcción del autor en la <i>Miscelánea austral</i> (1602) de Diego Dávalos y Figueroa

Abstract This article studies the way in which the author is constructed in the Miscelánea austral (1602) by Diego Dávalos y Figueroa. The reflection on the Miscelánea is structured on two levels. First, the figure of the author is delineated in the paratexts of the book. Subsequently, Delio, the male protagonist, functions as Dávalos’s alter ego. The fictional character, conceived from a series of classicist ideals, also contributes to the construction of his own author.
