Manuel Polo y Peyrolón (1846–1918) was a Spanish writer, theorist, academic, and politician. He is best known as the author of 5 novels falling in-between Romanticism and Realism; classified as part of costumbrismo, they are currently considered second-rate literature. As a philosopher he stuck to neo-Thomism and focused mostly on confronting Krausism. In education he represented the Catholic regenarationism, fiercely pitted against the Liberal current. In politics he was active within Carlism; his career climaxed during the 1896-1898 term in the Congress of Deputies and during the 1907-1915 terms in the Senate.
