La presencia escénica de Andrés de Claramonte en el Siglo de Oro a partir de las bases de datos Manos y CATCOM

Abstract

Mining the wealth of new information about manuscript preparation and circulation in the Manos database (manos.net) and about the authorship of theater texts in the CATCOM (catcom.uv.es) portal, this article proposes a comprehensive assessment of the literary career of Andres de Claramonte. Data analysis rooted in the Manos and CATCOM sites allows for a thorough reconsideration of the staging and manuscript circulation of Claramonte's plays during the seventeenth century. Three points of inquiry underpin my examination. First, I search for evidence of autograph manuscripts by Claramonte. In turn, I survey the indications of his success writing comedias and autos sacramentales, where the professional relationships he established with several theatrical companies between 1617 and his death in 1626 are of particular interest. Finally, I consider Claramonte's enduring popular appeal after his death.
