Book Description

April 26, 1996 0521478367 978-0521478366
Éste es el primer estudio exhaustivo que se hace sobre el teatro español del siglo XIX, género de importancia capital que produjo más de 10000 obras a lo largo del siglo. De todo este material - en su mayor parte desconocido hasta la fecha - David Gies hace un análisis valorativo en cuanto a texto, espectáculo y fenómeno social. Su libro aclara aspectos sobre el drama político de la época de la invasión napoleónica, el teatro escrito por mujeres, el teatro socialista, el drama neorromántico, la relación entre parodia y corrientes teatrales dominantes, y el desafío dramático de Galdós. Se incluye un capítulo sobre los conflictos que trajo consigo la institución de un Teatro Nacional, que nos revela hasta qué punto podía llegar el enfrentamiento de las diversas facciones a mediados de siglo. Este ameno estudio permitirá al fin que estudiantes y expertos puedan reconsiderar adecuadamente el canon textual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable work on Spanish theatre, March 17, 2004
This review is from: El teatro en la España del siglo XIX (SLAPP) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
In what has now become a landmark study, David Gies examines (in great detail) Spanish theatre of the nineteenth century. Traditionally glossed over by scholars and the public, this period when presented by Gies yields a fascinating amount of information. The path from late neoclassical to Romantic to Bourgeois and finally realist theater is a unique and byzantine one, yet the author manages to present the information in an easily digested, yet never condescending, fashion. This is a must have for any Spanish scholar or 19th century expert. There is also an English translation available for those who don't read Spanish.
