Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla y Augustín Moreto

Resumen del Libro

An elucidation in Spanish of the dramatic intentions and accomplishments of the two best imitators of the inspired craftsmanship of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, this is the first monograph to be published on Rojas Zorilla and Moreto for at least two decades. Following an introductory section, in which she discusses and compares the differing attitudes and methods of the two dramatists, the author concentrates on their respective achievements in the genres which they practiced with enthusiasm and ability. Among the comedies and serious secular plays selected for analysis are not only their most celebrated works, but also numerous plays previously overlooked or undervalued. These lesser-known works are revealed to be worthy of scholarly attention and are also discovered to illuminate hitherto rarely perceived or appreciated aspects of their creators' dramatic art. Moreto is shown to have, besides his famous aptitude for comedy, considerable abilities for treating serious or tragic themes, conflicts and characters. In addition to his celebrated preference and capacity for dramatizing sensationalist subjects and for creating abnormal, even pathological protagonists, Rojas Zorilla is observed to have other less obvious talents – for exploiting without fuss the best resources and techniques of drama and the stage; and for creating with imaginative restraint characters that are convincingly normal and humanly limited in the directions of their thoughts, the ranges of their emotions and the extremes of their conduct.

Política/sexualidad

PolitÌca / sexualidad shows that during the 1980s a traceable phenomenon in Latin American women's writing is the creation of a knot in which sexuality becomes entangled with politics. Women's writing struggles to create a political reading of the discourse of sexuality and likewise show how political space forces the private sphere to impose itself upon the sexuality of women. At one level of representation, a woman's body is the space where discourse merges the joyful experience of pleasure with the pain of repression. This book is a contribution to the construction of a Latin American...

Engaños deste siglo y historia sucedida en nuestros tiempos 1615

This novel is unique in the time period. Written in Spanish, by a French author, and published in Paris, the title (Deceits of this World) relates to a well-established genre wherein literature and morality were intertwined. Loubayssin writes with irony and wit. It is delicately erotic, a feature that cannot be found in its Spanish counterparts, due to the repressive censorship in Spain at that time. - In Spanish.

El aeroplano y la estrella

La meditación sobre la vanguardia como fenómeno literario y artístico aparece en lugar destacado en el despliegue de la teoría cultural contemporánea. El tema general del volumen es la incepción de la vanguardia en la Península Ibérica, incepción que, por razones sociales e históricas precisas, tiene lugar en el marco del debate cultural catalán. El presente volumen no se propone abordar la tarea pendiente de estudiar el fenómeno vanguardista en el marco de la reevaluación contemporánea del fenómeno nacional. Sus horizontes son mucho más modestos. Reúne aportaciones...

De Apolo a Zeus

¿Quién puede adivinar que detrás de la cornamenta de un ciervo se perfila la sombra de Acteón, o que la araña debe su nacimiento al conflicto que enfrentó a Atenea y Aracne? Las leyendas recogidas en el presente volumen, libre adaptación de obras del latino Ovidio y de los poetas griegos Esquilo y Hesiodo, nos enseñan que cada flor, cada árbol, cada animal, encierra a un mortal que fue objeto de la venganza o del deseo de algún dios. El texto se completa con bloques de juegos, que facilitan una mejor comprensión de lo leído, y con informaciones complementarias sobre diversos...
