Obviamente Calderón de la Barca.

Given how Shakespeare and Cervantes died on the same day (the 500th anniversary of which is coming up next year, 23 April 2016, so mark your calendars), I'm going to say it was he.

None of them had that much impact on the language. Obviously Cervantes is the most influential on the novel.

this pretty much. La Vida es Sueno is pretty god tier.

Lope de Vega isn't bad either.

Not true. They did die on the same date, but England and Spain had different calendars at the time so they actually died several months apart.

Wow, omg anon you're the coolest, you know who Calderon de la Barca is!!!!!11

I know about him, too (and I'm a Slav) and desu I think La Vida is too exaggerated. Like, the guy literally throws an another one from a balcony for shits and giggles because hurr spent his whole life in prison durr he has no morality and hurrrr durrrrrrr muhh durr
But maybe I've read a shitty translation, who knows.

I do know about the calendar part, but it's still a fun thing to mention.

This. If anything, Cervantes should be compared with Joyce.
