Description

La presente monografía analiza las obras dramáticas de Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina y Calderón de la Barca como reacción a la inestabilidad política y social de España en la primera mitad del siglo XVII. En contra de la inteación que presenta la comedia como un instrumento de propaganda de la monarquía, este estudio propone que muchos de los dramas escritos en este período funcionan a modo de velo que sutilmente revela una crítica metafóricade los reinados de Felipe III y de Felipe IV. Tales dramas, con una función ética y política y dentro del subgénero que definimos como "alegorías del poder", representan una serie de reflexiones sobre la buena y mala conducta delgobierno. Si bien sus argumentos están tomados de la tradición clásica, bíblica, europea y de la historia de España, o de leyendas antiguas, tal cuerpo dramático hace una severa reflexión sobre el gobierno justo y virtuoesta en práctica de una moral recta y de unos valores políticos correctos. El discurso dramático que permite que estos dramaturgos, sin riesgo de censura, se hagan portavoces del sentir de un coro de voces, dialogando con otros géneros (tratados políticos, emblemática, poesía tradicional, etc.), reflexionando sobre la personalidad del príncipe ideal y sobre el arte de gobernar, llega a veces a proponer la urgente necesidad de una reforma en la conducta delimperio. Antonio Carreño-Rodríguez es profesor asistente de español, George Mason University. Review [Provides] a comprehensive and thoroughly researched contribution to the study of politics, ideology and theater. [...] while scholars of early modern theater will welcome this thoughtful study, critics and historians interested in seventeenth-century political discourse will also benefit from Carreño-Rodríguez's extensive attention to how theater responded to its own sociopolitical contexts. ― REVISTA DE ESTUDIOS HISPÁNICOS A splendid study of Spain's professional theater in the imperial crisis experienced in the peninsula between 1598 and 1659. [...] This book is mandatory reading for those interested in these two areas of cultural production in early modern Spain. ― RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY
