Francisco de Quevedo's satirical poetry is commonly viewed as grotesquely comical, a manifestation of what Bakhtin called the Carnivalesque. But not all of his satirical poetry fits this interpretation. In this study the author investigates the aggressivity and obscenity of Quevedo's work, and particularly his personal invectives against Luis de Góngora, a poet of the previous generation.
