Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Spanish married name Шаблон:Infobox writer Blanca de Gassó y Ortiz (26 November 1846 – 15 April 1877) was a 19th-century Spanish writer and poet.
Biography
Blanca's father, Jacinto Gassó, was a merchant whose store, "El Bazar del Globo", was located on the lower floor of the family home. He maintained tight control over his daughter's life, although he allowed her to socialize in literary circles and work as a writer. The chroniclers of the time described Blanca as a tall, slender, blonde, and beautiful young woman, but her father scared away all her suitors.
Gassó became a widower on April 5, 1877. On April 8,[1] he shot his daughter in the head with a revolver while she was sleeping and then did the same to himself, committing suicide. It was rumored that Blanca had fallen in love with a suitor and was willing to marry although Jacinto was vehemently opposed to courtship. Admitted to the Hospital Universitario de la Princesa in Madrid,[2] Blanca remained conscious during the first days, married her beloved in article mortis, dictated her will leaving all her assets, and personally requested her last rites. She died on April 15, 1877, in Madrid.[2][3]
The newspapers echoed the tragedy and the death of "the distinguished poetess." After her murder, sales of her works and her collections of poems increased, but over the years she fell into oblivion.[4]
Career
She published a Шаблон:Lang (Salon Almanac)[5] for some years and collaborated in some of Madrid's periodicals such as La Lira, La Garnalda, La Moda Elegante, El Bazar, and Шаблон:Ill.[3] She was a member of the Шаблон:Ill (Association of Spanish Writers and Artists) and of the Шаблон:Ill (Economic Society Matritense).[6] She was the author of works such as Шаблон:Lang (Crown of childhood: poetic readings and songs for children) (1867)[6][7] and Шаблон:Lang (One hundred songs to the eyes),[2] in addition to dramatic pieces such as a praise to the Шаблон:Lang (Two of May) (1873),[8] and the comedy Шаблон:Lang (The First Flight) and the tragedy Шаблон:Lang.[6][1]
