Book excerpt: Spanish Romanticism contained a special characteristic in that it lacked the interior aspects of Romanticism as found in the rest of Europe. This is attributed to the fact that Romanticism arrived late in Spain by approximately 30 years. The Romantics showed their dissatisfaction with the Classical formula by reacting violently against it and by opposing its rules. It required Victor Hugo, however, to unite and lead them in the direction they sought, with his preface to Cromwell, written in 1827. The principal Spanish Romantic dramas were written between 1834 and 1844 and included: La Conjuración de Venecia, 1834, by Francisco Martínez de la Rosa; Macías, 1834, by Mariano José de Larra; Don Alvaro o La Fuerza del Sino, 1835, by Angel Saavedra, duque de Rivas; El Trovador, 1836, by Antonio García Gutiérrez; Los Amantes de Tereul, 1837, by Juan Eugenio Hartzenbusch; and Don Juan Tenorio, 1844, by José Zorrila. - Preface.

Download or read book The Adulteress on the Spanish Stage written by Tracie Amend and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as 1760 and as late as 1920, Romantic drama dominated Peninsular Spanish theater. This love affair with Romanticism influenced the formation of Spain's modern national identity, which depended heavily on defining women's place in 19th century society. Women who defied traditional gender roles became a source of anxiety in society and on stage. The adulteress embodied the fear of rebellious women, the growing pains of modernity and the political instability of war and invasion. This book examines the conflicted portrayal of women and the Spanish national identity. Studying the adulteress on stage, the author provides insight into the uneasy tension between progress and tradition in 19th century Spain.
Download or read book Theatre in Spain 1490 1700 written by Melveena McKendrick and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1989 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to examine the rise of Spain's extraordinary national theatre in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in all its aspects - the commercial theatre, the court drama and the Corpus autos, the organisation of theatrical life, the playhouses themselves and their public, the literary and moral controversies, and the plays as literary texts. The book has been written for students of drama as well as Hispanists: Spanish theatre is set in its national and international context; Spanish titles and theatrical terms are translated. Considerable space has been devoted to the experimental drama of the sixteenth century before Lope de Vega. At the core of the book is a highly distinctive, successful national theatre which mirrored the energies, beliefs and anxieties of a great nation in crisis, yet at the same time granted full expression to the individual genius of its greatest exponents - Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderon de la Barca.
Download or read book Theatre and Politics in Nineteenth Century Spain written by David Thatcher Gies and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-02-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Frenchman Juan de Grimaldi was instrumental in the development of the Spanish theatre in the 1820s and 30s, at a time when censorship, repression, and economic chaos had left it in a state of stagnation. As impresario and stage director, he trained actors in the new style of declamation, made physical changes in sets and lighting, translated recent French plays into Spanish, and encouraged the writing of original Spanish plays. His own magical comedy, La Pata de Cabra (1829), was outstandingly successful. Grimaldi was also a wealthy businessman and newspaper editor, and the patron of many important Spanish Romantic writers. He was active in politics, vigorously defending the moderate policies of the Queen Regent, María Cristina, and of Prime Minister Ramón de Nerváez. Even after his return to Paris, Grimaldi continued to work secretly as an agent of the Spanish government. Based on original archival materials, this is the first in-depth study of Grimaldi's involvement in the literary and political progress of nineteenth-century Spain.

Download or read book The Theatre in Nineteenth Century Spain written by David Thatcher Gies and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-08-11 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of the theatre of nineteenth-century Spain, a most important genre which produced more than 10,000 plays during the course of the century. David Gies assesses this mass of material - much of it hitherto unknown - as text, spectacle, and social phenomenon. His book sheds light on political drama during Napoleonic times, the theatre of dictatorship (1820s), Romanticism, women dramatists, socialist drama, neo-Romantic drama, the relationship between parody and the dominant literary currents of the day, and the challenging work of Galdós. A chapter on the battle to create a National Theatre reveals the deep conflicts generated by the various interested factions in the middle of the century. This readable account will at last allow students and scholars properly to re-evaluate the canon of texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As theatre and drama of the Romantic Period undergo a critical reassessment among scholars internationally, the contributions of women as playwrights, actresses, and managers are also being revalued. This volume, which brings together leading British, North American, and Italian critics, is a crucial step towards reclaiming the importance of women's dramatic and theatrical activities during the period. Writing for the theatre implied assuming a public role, a hazardous undertaking for women who, especially after the French Revolution, were assigned to the private, primarily domestic, sphere. As the contributors examine the covert strategies women used to become full participants in the public theatre, they shed light on the issue of women's agency, expressed both through the writing of highly politicized or ethicized drama, as in the case of Elizabeth Inchbald or Joanna Baillie, and through women's professional practice as theatre managers and stage producers, as in the case of Elizabeth Vestris and Jane Scott. Among the topics considered are women's history plays, domesticity, ethics and sexuality in women's closet drama, the politics of drama and performance, and the role of women as managers and producers. Specialists in performance studies, Romantic Period drama, and women's writing will find the essays both challenging and inspiring.
