Abstract: ("El Estudiante de Salamanca" by José de Espronceda and the myth of Don Juan) "The student of Salamanca" is a poem that José de Espronceda wrote between 1837 and 1840, in the middle of Romanticism. The literary criticism has emphasized several themes of the poem throughout the years, and the majority of them include a long and glorious literary tradition. We may consider a multiple intertextuality in Espronceda´s poetry. The protagonist of the poem is don Felix of Montemar, a young man with the same features as the famous Sevillian seducer, don Juan Tenorio. The intertextuality of the poem "The student of Salamanca" by José de Espronceda with the myth of Don Juan Tenorio -that originates in "El burlador de Sevilla", a literary work commonly attributed to Tirso de Molina-, is undeniable, and it has been observed immediately by critics. Furthermore, the intertextuality is announced and sought by the author, who describes his hero in this way: "Second don Juan Tenorio, / fierce and insolent soul, / irreligious and brave, / arrogant and quarrelsome: / Always the insult in the eyes, / the irony on the lips, / fears nothing and fully trusts / his sword and value." There is no doubt that the hero of Espronceda is a romantic Don Juan and can be included in the myth of Don Juan (despite being called Felix, and not Juan). Moreover, the exegetes claim that "The student of Salamanca" by José de Espronceda had a significant influence on the romantic drama "Don Juan Tenorio" by Jose Zorrilla (1844).
