Francisco de Rojas Zorrilla y Augustín Moreto

Sinopsis 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.

Teoría de la literatura de ciencia ficción

Pocos géneros literarios han tenido tanta influencia en el diseño, la arquitectura, la moda, la ingeniería, el arte, la música, el cine o la literatura de nuestro tiempo como lo ha hecho la ciencia ficción. La historia de los dos últimos siglos difícilmente se comprende sin ella y su capacidad de reflexión y crítica y su habilidad para conjurar imágenes impactantes y marcar tendencias. Teniendo en cuenta que hace décadas que ha despertado el interés de los teóricos, investigadores y ensayistas de todo el mundo, parece un poco paradójica la escasez de estudios científicos en...

El Teatro Cervantes de Alcalá de Henares, 1602-1866

In 1981, on the basis of documentary evidence, the authors identified the site of the first public theatre in Alcala de Henares, dating from the time of Cervantes. The building, which had been most recently in use as a cinema, showed evidence of four periods of dramatic activity: the original corral de comedias, an 18th century horse-shoe amphitheatre, an elliptical amphitheatre of Roman period, and the cinema. Research in archives provided a wealth of documentation up to the 19th century, covering all aspects of theatrical life, from the original contract for the construction of the corral...
