Encyclopedia of Latin American Theater
Author: Eladio Cortes
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313017212
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 547
Book Description
Latin American culture has given birth to numerous dramatic works, though it has often been difficult to locate information about these plays and playwrights. This volume traces the history of Latin American theater, including the Nuyorican and Chicano theaters of the United States, and surveys its history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Sections cover individual Latin American countries. Each section features alphabetically arranged entries for playwrights, independent theaters, and cultural movements. The volume begins with an overview of the development of theater in Latin America. Each of the country sections begins with an introductory survey and concludes with copious bibliographical information. The entries for playwrights provide factual information about the dramatist's life and works and place the author within the larger context of international literature. Each entry closes with a list of works by and about the playwright. A selected, general bibliography appears at the end of the volume.

Miracles of Our Lady
Author: Gonzalo de Berceo
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813181542
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Miracle tales, in which people are rewarded for piety or punished for sin through the intervention of the Virgin Mary, were a popular literary form all through the Middle Ages. Milagros de Nuestra Sehora, a collection of such stories by the Spanish secular priest Gonzalo de Berceo, is a premier example of this genre; it is also regarded as one of the four most important texts of medieval Spain. Difficulties in translating this work have made it unavailable in English except in fragments; now Spanish-language scholars Richard Terry Mount and Annette Grant Cash have made the entire work accessible to English readers for the first time. Berceo's miracle tales use the verse form cuaderna via (fourfold way) of fully rhymed quatrains—which Berceo may even have invented—and are told in the language of the common man. They were written to be read aloud, most likely to an audience of pilgrims, and are an outstanding example of oral religious narrative. The total work comprises twenty-five miracles, preceded by a renowned Introduction that celebrates the Virgin in rich symbolic allegory. Mount and Cash's translation is highly readable, yet it retains the original meaning and captures Berceo's colloquial style and medieval nuances. An introduction placing the miracles in their medieval context and a bibliography complement the text.

Beneath the Fiction
Author: William H. Clamurro
Publisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Clamurro (Spanish, Emporia State U) maintains that each of Cervantes' 12 Exemplary Novellas embodies a unique vision of the problems of individual identity and social order. He looks beyond the plot to find connotations of the social order that Cervantes unintentionally placed in the texts. Clamurro concludes that in each novella, the message dramatized by the central action is undermined by the complexity and irony of the narrative, and that the novellas cannot be reduce to a unifying framework.
