Vincent Garcia de la Huerta

Vicente Antonio García de la Huerta (1734–1787) was an 18th-century Spanish poet, author, dramatist, and critic.

His brother Pedro García de la Huerta was a Jesuit historian.

He acquired fame with contributions to turn public attention to ancient native writers and held the following positions - head of the Antigallican literary party, member of Spanish academy, leader of the national school of poetry, chief of the National library, head of the Royal library, and others.

He equally attracted censures from his opponents and enemies for his literary arrogance, notably, from critics of France.

He was also dismissed as the chief of National library due to his literary arrogance and numerous enemies.
