Abstract
Jose Echegaray was a notable politician, scientist, economist and playwright at the end of the 19th Century. For this reason, his literary work requires an interdisciplinary approach. The critics of his time considered his plays to be the result of an unlimited or extreme imagination. However, Echegaray argues that he uses rigorous deductive procedures in his plays and that he does not deviate from the artistic and scientific trends of his time that sought to explore social issues. In fact, the influence of the French economist Frederic Bastiat and the literature on Free Trade of the time are clearly present in his plays and can help us to understand and explain some of the procedures and reasoning that Echegaray uses in his plays. This paper deals with El gran Galeoto and Como empieza y como acaba in particular.
