The fundamental conception of the drama "The Burgraves" is a dramatic struggle between two antithetical forces: fatality attempting to impose punishment on a degraded race and providence striving to pardon and to rehabilitate. The poet has embodied the force of fatality in an old slave named Guanhumara, a sorceress endowed with a knowledge of medicinal herbs. She has effected several cures, including that of Hatto the grandson of Job, who is the chief burgrave; and on this account, she is allowed much more freedom than is granted to the other slaves. Within the character of Guanhumara there is the contrast between the apparent weakness on account of her age, sex, and condition and the tremendous power that her mysterious and magical talents bestow together with her irresistible will to wreak vengeance.

Asi, el uso del dialogo como medio conductor del relato, las situaciones comicas, los personajes estrafalarios -en definitiva, los estandartes propios del universo cervantino- fluyen tambien a lo largo de sus ocho comedias, ocho entremeses y dos piezas sueltas.El Principe de los Ingenios siempre hablo del teatro como su gran vocacion. La presente edicion, al cuidado del catedratico y cervantista Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, reune la totalidad de su produccion dramatica, a la que el paso del tiempo y el buen juicio de la distancia han concedido el lugar que merece.

Edición de Alberto del Río Nogueras.El volumen 19 de la BCRAE reúne la totalidad del teatro enciniano, formado por las ocho églogas incluidas en el Cancionero de 1496 y las seis piezas compuestas a partir de esa fecha.La obra de Encina compendia y eleva a la excelencia la tradicion dramatica medieval, en la que injerta las perspectivas amorosas propias de la lirica cancioneril y de las ficciones sentimentales, acordes con el gusto palaciego del tiempo y refinadas con ciertos aires mitologicos durante su etapa italiana.Nadie le discute el trono de los inicios de nuestra escena, aunque la posteridad lo olvidase y tuviese que esperar a la epoca de las vanguardias, al calor de su reivindicacion como musico, para cautivar con las mismas armas literarias de sus comienzos: un estudiado primitivismo que logra, bajo disfraz pastoril, calar hondo en las conciencias.Para establecer el texto critico de la presente edicion se ha consultado la totalidad de testimonios antiguos, algunos de ellos conservados en ejemplar unico.

Tanto es lo de más como lo de menos, tiene la particularidad, entre las obras inspiradas en temas bíblicos, de fundarse no en la narración de un suceso o en la dramatización de un personaje auténtico, sino en la parabola evangelica del hijo prodigo.

"Sueño de una Noche de Verano" es una obra maestra de William Shakespeare que entrelaza la comedia con elementos de fantasía, explorando las complejidades del amor y la ilusión. Ambientada en un bosque encantado, la trama se desarrolla a traves de cuatro grupos de personajes: los amantes desorientados, los duendes traviesos, la corte real de Atenas y las rusticas figuras de los actores aficionados. El estilo literario de Shakespeare se manifiesta en dialogos ingeniosos y poeticos, donde el juego de identidades y las confusiones amorosas conducen a una reflexion sobre la naturaleza caprichosa del deseo. Contextualmente, la obra se situa en el Renacimiento, un periodo que valoraba la exploracion de la subjetividad y el uso del simbolismo, lo cual se refleja en la dualidad entre el sueño y la vigilia. William Shakespeare, dramaturgo britanico del siglo XVI, es una figura central en la literatura universal. Su vida en la epoca isabelina, marcada por el florecimiento de las artes, influyo profundamente en su obra. "Sueño de una Noche de Verano" probablemente fue escrita en un contexto de exploracion de los limites del amor y la identidad, temas recurrentes en la vida social de su tiempo y en sus propias experiencias. Shakespeare, quien disfruto de un solido exito en el teatro, aprovecho su conocimiento del comportamiento humano para retratar la complejidad de las relaciones. Recomiendo encarecidamente "Sueño de una Noche de Verano" a aquellos que buscan un viaje literario que fusiona humor con una reflexion profunda sobre el amor. La riqueza de sus personajes y su aguda observacion de la naturaleza humana brindan una experiencia de lectura enriquecedora y atemporal. Es un libro que sigue resonando, no solo por su contenido, sino tambien por su estetica dramatica y su capacidad para evocar emociones universales.
