Jesús González Maestro (Gijón, 1 December 1967) is a Spanish literary critic and theorist, scholar, and professor.
He developed a scientific literary theory grounded on Bueno's philosophical materialism.
Early life and education He studied at the University of Oviedo between 1985 and 1990, defending his thesis in 1993. The next year, he became professor of comparative literature at the University of Vigo, where he developed academic work related to the philosophical materialism of Gustavo Bueno. His reflections on literature are presented in his 2017 book Crítica de la Razón Literaria.
Academic career Maestro traces the origins of modern literature to Cervantes's Don Quixote, and argues that literature, as a form of art, is essentially a ''rational construct''.
He publishes divulgative videos about literature in general on YouTube, and became an internet phaenomenon, although he refuses being called a "YouTuber".
