Poética y política de la maravilla: las maravillas del mundo antiguo en Lope de Vega
| Résumé |
This article studies the presence of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World in the works of Lope de Vega, an author who was
particularly fond of the topic and skillful in its usage. Our
article examines the appearance of the list from the end of the
sixteenth century to 1634, and proposes some reasons for Lope's
love for this topic. We explain which is the state of the art on
the subject before focusing on Lope’s lyrical poetry. In
particular, we begin examining Rimas (1604), a book in which Lope
included two sonnets on the wonders. These poems have a peculiar
dispositio which we consider the structural basis of Lope’s take on
the wonders. Next, we study two small appearances in La Filomena
(1621) and La Circe (1624), and, finally, a burlesque variant of
this structure in Rimas de Tomé de Burguillos (1634), in a poem
which allows us to propose a hypothesis concerning the origin of
Lope’s idea. Taking this information into consideration, we examine
Lope’s theater, which we divide into two large stages separated by
1609, the year in which Lope published Jerusalén conquistada and
must have written La octava maravilla. These stages are useful to
analyze the Seven Wonders in the corpus, to examine the evolution
of that motif, and to reflect on its connections with the panegyric
and with Lope's professional interests. |
