“Ars amatoria bayaliana. Reescritura de las nínfulas en "Mísera fue, señora, la osadía"

Abstract

This article explores Misera fue, senora, la osadia; we analyze the strong use of intertextuality and, in particular, mythological references. In this novel Gonzalo Hidalgo Bayal displays his mastery in his role as the transmitter and privileged link in the continuum of literary tradition, introducing variations in the mythological character of the nymphs, where tradition melts the features of the Greco-Latin sirens and lamias accordingly with the author’s time and his readers’ sensitivity.
