Complete Autos sacramentales by Lope de Vega
Edition, study and literary-historical context
FFI2013-45388-P | Ministry of Economics, Industry and Competitiveness
Spanish aurisecular theatre is one of the most important literary corpuses of Western culture.
Since the mid-twentieth century, the birth and consolidation of different teams at national and international level has meant a qualitative leap in the knowledgeand the dissemination of this corpus through programs of studyand critical editions, and the holding of different scientific meetings that have been designing a much more solvent critical panorama.
A large part of these programs of studyhave focused on the two most representative and emblematic figures of Spanish theatre in this century: Pedro Calderón de la Barca and Lope de Vega. On the former, the GRISO, groupof researchSiglo de Oro of the University of Navarra has been studying and critically publishing his autos sacramentales, while the groupof researchon Calderón (GIC) of the University of Santiago de Compostela, has been doing the same with his comedies and dramas.
The work being carried out by groupProlope of Barcelona on the comedies of the Spanish playwright is recognised throughout the academic world of Hispanism. However, the Lopean corpus of autos sacramentales, comprising a total of 40 autos sacramentales, hardly studied, hardly published and whose knowledgeis essential to understand the evolution of a genre which, from the second half of the 17th century onwards, became the maximum expression of Baroque theatrical aesthetics, has yet to be dealt with.
The study and publication of this corpus represents an advance in the knowledgeof the literary and cultural techniques of dramatic expression from its beginnings in the early nineties until the 1720s, when the Baroque aesthetic disintegrated. As a whole, it is a corpus that has been very little studied and systematically ignored by historians and critics, among other reasons because Lope never took care of the publication of these texts in a decisive manner and because, given their secondary nature, false attributions and misappropriations of authorship abound. There is only one more or less exhaustive edition of texts, by Menéndez y Pelayo for the Library Servicesde Autores Españoles in the 19th century. Therefore, in absolute terms, it is not possible to read it, unless one turns to manuscripts and printed texts prior to the 18th century, which are scattered in different libraries in Europe and America.
The lack of accessible texts, even for scholars, leads to a lack of literary knowledge and of evaluationwhich means that today Lope's autos sacramentales are an unknown terrain. This projectaims to establish the instructionsfor a comprehensive knowledgeof this literary facet of Lope de Vega, within the perspective of the critical edition of Lope de Vega's complete theatre.
