Résumé
Este trabajo examina unos modismos del tópico de la descriptio puellae en textos de Góngora y Lope. Concretamente, estudia la imagen de la dama como atractivo palacio, que desarrolla un célebre soneto gongorino («De pura honestidad templo sagrado») y varios textos lopescos: el soneto 64 de las Rimas («Yo vi sobre dos piedras plateadas»), unos pasajes de De cosario a cosario (antes de 1619), de El caballero de Olmedo (c. 1621) y, especialmente, de La Circe (1624). Tras repasar algunos elementos del tópico de la descriptio puellae, y en particular las metáforas arquitectónicas, examinamos el soneto gongorino y las fuentes que propone la crítica, a las que sumamos el Cantar de los cantares. A continuación, estudiamos descriptiones puellarum en Lope, tanto las no arquitectónicas como, especialmente, las que sí lo son, y en concreto las que usan la metáfora de la columna: para hablar del cuello de la dama, según el canon petrarquista, o para hablar de sus piernas, según una atrevida pero difundida tradición erótica que recoge el citado soneto de las Rimas. Por último, y en la parte central del trabajo, examinamos estas metáforas en el Lope de senectud, cuya Circe las lleva a un refinamiento que podemos comparar con el gongorino.
This paper examines some elements of the descriptio puellae topic in texts by Góngora and Lope. Specifically, we study the image of the lady as an attractive palace, which is developed in a famous sonnet by Góngora («De pura honestidad templo sagrado») and in several texts by Lope: sonnet 64 of the Rimas («Yo vi sobre dos piedras plateadas»), some passages from De cosario a cosario (before 1619), from El caballero de Olmedo (c. 1621) and, especially, from La Circe (1624). After reviewing some elements of the descriptio puellae topic, and in particular the architectural metaphors, we examine the Gongorine sonnet and the sources proposed by the critics, to which we add the Song of Songs. Next, we study descriptiones puellarum in Lope, both architectural and non-architectural, and, among the first, those that use the metaphor of the column: to speak of the lady’s neck, according to the Petrarchan canon, or to speak of her legs, according to a daring but widespread erotic
tradition that the aforesaid Rimas sonnet retakes. Finally, and in the central part of the work, we
examine these metaphors in late Lope texts, such as La Circe.
