Programme

Different aspects of the Calderonian theater will be explored, with the aim of obtaining an overall view of its dramaturgy and a mastery of the main techniques of analysis of the theatrical text.
The program will be structured as follows:
1) Methodological premises for the analysis of golden age theatrical texts.
2) Dramaturgical, metric, poetic and rhetorical analysis of key sequences of the five scheduled works.
3) Basic notions for the edition of a golden age theatrical text: versification, orthographic modernization, punctuation, annotation, definition of the critical text (collation and filiation of witnesses, apparatus of variants). We will work in the classroom with the texts of Celos aun del aire matan and Las armas de la hermosura.
The program will be carried out entirely in Spanish.
