The low condition of the theatre in his time was a seri- ous misfortune to Cervantes* It prevented him from obtaining, as a dramatic author, a suitable remuneration for his efforts, even though they were, as he tells us, suc- cessful in winning public favor. If we add to this that he was now married, that one of his sisters was depend- ent o
...n him, and that he was maimed in his person and a neglected man, it will not seem remarkabie that, after struggling on for three years at Esquivias and Madrid, he found himself obliged» to seek elsewhere the means of Cervantes goes Bubsistence. In 1588, therefore, he went to to sevüíe. Seville, then the great mart for the vast wealth coming in from America, and, as he afterwards called it, "a shelter for the poor and a refuge for the unfortunate. ,, x There he acted for some time as one of the agents of Antonio de Guevara, a royal commissary for the American fleets, and afterwards as a collector of moneys due to the government and to prívate individuáis ; an humble condi- tion, certainly, and full of cares, but still one that gave him the bread he had vainly sought in other pursuits.
