Javier Lorenzo

Space, Drama, and Empire

Mapping the Past in Lope de Vega's Comedia

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Space, Drama, and Empire examines the role that space played as a vehicle to imperialize Spain’s history in Lope de Vega’s theater. Lope’s national history plays, this book argues, used the landscapes and settings of the past to foretell and legitimize Spain’s imperial present and to “map” or plot its expansionist trajectory throughout the centuries.
