Pedro de Répide Gallegos studied law, philosophy and liberal arts at the Complutense University of Madrid, and by the age of nineteen had already published a book of verse, Las Canciones ("The Songs").
In Paris he continued his studies at the Sorbonne and was director of the library of Isabella II of Spain. In 1904, at the death of Isabella II, he returned to Madrid and became a journalist. He was one of the founding members of La Libertad, and editor of El Liberal and a contributor to, among others, Blanco y Negro, La Esfera, Nuevo Mundo, El Cuento Semanal, Los Contemporàneos, La Novela de Hoy, El Libro Popular and La Novela Corta. The Madrid City Council appointed him as official feature writer for the city. He spent eleven years in America.
Pedro de Répide Gallegos's true passion was chronicling contemporary life in Madrid (see costumbrismo). He scarcely wrote of anything else, save one biography, Isabel II, reina de España (Isabel II, Queen of Spain), which in reality served as a pretext to describe the celebrations, ceremonies and rincones ("corners") of Madrid. Much of his work was first published in varied newspapers (such as La Libertad) and magazines.[1]
