Juan Marichal (1922-2010), Smth Professor of French and Spanish Languages and Literatures at Harvard University, was a master teacher and a thinker of importance to anyone who has studied modern Spanish literature and culture. Exiled from Spain, Marichal taught in Harvard's Department of Romance Languages and Literatures for over thirty years until his retirement in 1988.
