CLAVIJO Y FAJARDO, JOSE Spanish publicist, was born at Lanzarote (Canary islands). He settled in Madrid, became editor of El Pensador, and by his campaign against the public performance of autos sacramentales secured their prohibition in 1765. His work would long since have been forgotten were it not that it put an end to a peculiarly national form of dramatic exposition, and that his love affair with one of Beaumarchais' sisters suggested the theme of Goethe's first publication, Clavigo.
