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.

A Spaniard in Elizabethan England

Antonio Perez, the brilliant but erratic secretary to Philip II of Spain, became in the years of his exile a political agent in the service of the Earl of Essex, arriving at the Court of Queen Elizabeth in 1593. On behalf of Essex, who valued him as a friend, a partner and a humanist scholar, he cast an intelligence network over Italy; and he made a striking, though dangerous, contribution to the Essex cult.

El juego de las preguntas

No hay libro de Handke que no constituya un acontecimiento. Obra del Premio Nobel de Literatura 2019. «No es para que nos contesten a una pregunta por lo que nos hemos puesto en camino, sino para que, en el silencio del lugar de los antiguos oráculos, cada uno descubra cuál es su pregunta». Con este designio, siete singulares peregrinos emprenden un iniciático «viaje al país sonoro», una búsqueda espiritual que, bajo distintas formas en diferentes culturas, ha constituido siempre el símbolo supremo de la vida humana. En El juego de las preguntas, Handke propone que nos abramos al...
