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.

El colonialismo interno en la narrativa chicana

Among the categories of narrative discussed are the espacio pochista, the migrante, and the indigenista. The book is a signal advance in the sociology of Chicano narrative and its application to significant...

Congresos de amor

En el verano de 1963 Pier Paolo Pasolini recorre Italia con un micrófono en la mano. En las plazas de los pueblos, en las playas del norte y del sur, en las discotecas y en los trenes entrevista a la gente y le pregunta sobre el sexo: qué papel tiene en su vida, si para los hombres es igual que para las mujeres, si el matrimonio resuelve o satisface la sexualidad de cada uno. En sus preguntas toca los temas de la virginidad, el machismo, la diversidad, el matrimonio y la prostitución. Lo que nace de ese viaje es un documental, Comizi d’amore, que reflexiona sobre los límites y los...

Crítica y vanguardia

Este libro se propone la exploración del modo en que arraigaron y germinaron en la vida literaria española las semillas de los movimientos de vanguardia, desde el manifiesto futurista recogido en la revista Prometeo hasta el umbral de los años treinta, cuando una conjunción de acontecimientos políticos y literarios llevó a la crítica y autocrítica de las normas de vanguardia forjadas en los años anteriores, cerrando un ciclo de perfiles netos. Mediante el examen de las revistas y algunos ensayos (Literaturas europeas de vanguardia, La deshumanización del arte, El nuevo romanticismo) ...
