Excerpt from Tabaré; Poema, Precedido de un Juicio Crítico por Juan Valera, de la Real Academia Española: La Leyenda Patria, Con un Juicio Crítico de Paul Groussac Esta manera de poetizar se adapta muy bien al asunto de Tabaré. Tratado en prosa, dicho asunto daría lugar a un sutil análisis psicológico; tratado en verso, y como Juan Zorrilla le trata, su poesía, que no analiza ni discurre, porque no sería poesía si tal hiciera, 6 sería poesía muy pesada, sobreexcita é inspira al lector para que él mismo haga los discursos y los análisis.

Juan Zorrilla was born in Montevideo on December 28, 1855.
He studied in the colegio (grade school) of the Jesuit order in Santa Fé, Argentina, and the school of the Bayon Fathers in Montevideo.
His father sent him to study law at the National University in Santiago, Chile, because the anti-Catholic atmosphere of Montevideo at that time offended his family. In 1877 Zorrilla received his law degree.
In 1878 he returned to Montevideo and was appointed a justice of the peace, a post he held for 6 months. He founded and became the editor of El Bien Público, a proclerical newspaper, which he used partially as a base from which to attack the dictatorship of Máximo Santos.
Zorrilla's La leyenda pátria (1879) is a lyrical poem in praise of his nation, and Jesuitas (1879) is a collection of essays in support of that religious order.
Santos eventually ordered Zorrilla removed from his teaching posts and harassed him; he fled to Buenos Aires in 1885 and remained there until 1887 when Santos resigned.
Zorrilla was elected to the Academia de la Lengua of Madrid as an individual correspondent. Zorrilla's career in public affairs began at this time. He served briefly in the Chamber of Deputies after being elected in 1888.
In 1891 he was appointed minister plenipotentiary to Spain; while in Madrid he took an active part in the city's intellectual life and in the 400th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of the Americas. Zorrilla traveled widely in Europe and served briefly as chargé d'affaires in Paris.
In 1898 Zorrilla returned to Montevideo, resumed the editorship of El Bien Público, and won the chair of international and public law in the university.
In 1903 he acted briefly as chief of the Office of Emission of Currency in the Banco de la República. The year 1910 was the centennial of José Artigas's declaration of Uruguay independence; on commission from the government, Zorrilla published La epopeya de Artigas. Late in life, Zorrilla was honored by the Pope for service and loyalty to the Church and for his Catholic activities. While president of the Club Católico Oriental in Montevideo, Zorrilla also maintained his deeply pro-Spanish attitudes.

His parents were natives of Spain and very devout Catholics; he maintained both loyalties throughout his life.
Zorrilla's work was acclaimed widely for its lyricism, dedication to the values of Catholic Hispanism, and patriotic fervor. His work was not abstractly romantic but sought to recount the glories of an era of heroism and idealism.
He blended history and creativity in the form of legend and became a principal spokesman for conservative and traditional standards against the populist and modernizing standards that swept the country during his lifetime.
Having been twice widowed, he left 13 living children on his death in Montevideo on November 4, 1931. The internationally well known sculptor José Luis Zorrilla de San Martín was his son and father of internationally known actress China Zorrilla.
