El metateatro en los entremeses de José Julián López de Castro

Abstract

Starting from the well-known idea that short theatre is a very favorable terrain for meta-theatricality, in this work we seek to study the meta-theatrical features present in the interludes (entremeses) written by Jose Julian Lopez de Castro, a Spanish poet and dramatist in the eighteenth-century. The choice of this object of study responds to the low interest that critics have given, on the one hand, to the life and work of this Madrid writer and, on the other, to the subject of meta-theatricality in the short dramatic pieces of the eighteenth-century Spanish.
