A., M. A. The Ohio State University 1955 Approved by: Adviser Department of Romance Languages ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I should like to express my deepest appreciation to my adviser, Carlos Blanco. In his helpful guidance and more parti­ cularly in the generous giving of his own time, he has demonstrated the finest qualities of the true teacher who places the needs and aspirations of his students above any personal considerations. I have made a sincere effort to provide adequate treatment of the subject material involved in this study and in the course of this work I have received invaluable suggestions from many colleagues and friends. It may well be, however, that the reader will detect what he considers to be errors or lacunae and in such case, it goes without saying that I assume full responsibility. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.................................. ii INTRODUCTION.................................... 1 Chapter I.

Since his literary debut in Tirso de Molina1 s El burlador de Sevilla , he has long ceased to be the property of any one author and has been recreated and transformed by many writers both inside and outside of Spain.^ Tirso *s drama presents an active, irresponsible debauchee who ' could not fail to catch the public*s eye. Don Juan is a proven ,!box office success11 and as such cannot fail to attract the playwright who must look to his profession for his livelihood. There is, however, another side to this immortal figure which is essential to a serious consideration of any aspect of the Don Juan theme. Tirso’s deline­ ation of the libertine does not probe deeply into his character. The dramatist shows us what his protagonist does but does not say why Don Juan acts in such a manner. Nor does he dwell upon the long range worldly consequences of the burlador * s anti-social activities. The essential focus of this drama is upon theological considerations. Tirso presents an archtype evil-doer, then poses and finally resolves the question of his salvation or perdition. Motivations and social implications are of secondary or no importance to Tirso and are there­ fore only superficially developed in his drama. This fact combined comprehensive bibliography of the Don Juan legend is to be found in: Armand Edwards Singer, A Bibliography of the Don Juan Themes Versions and Criticism (Morgantown: West Virginia University, West Virginia University Bulletin, Ser. Sbt no. 10-1). 1 with the necessarily episodic structure of the Burlador de Sevilla created a fertile field for further literary developments of the figure of Don Juan. Tirso had crystallized a legend into literary formj the popularity of his and subsequent renditions of the story of Don Juan expanded this legend and gave it renewed strength. In a sense each new version presented a new Don Juan. Each author provided additional epi­ sodes in the libertine's tumultuous life and increased the wealth of interpretations of his character. In the Romantic period Zorrilla re­ suscitated the theme in his Don Juan Tenorio3 and likewise in the "Generation of *98" the character and legend of Don Juan appears in a number of works. For its part, the public— readers or spectators— accepted or rejected the various literary offerings, selecting even within the in­ dividual works those elements which particularly appealed to its 2 imagination. The aura of promiscuity and lawlessness which came to surround the figure of Don Juan has even attracted the attention of investi­ gators outside of the purely literary world. Unamuno gives a succinct resume of the fate of the libertine at the hands of the sciences: o Ramiro de Maeztu indicates that a possible reason for Zor­ rilla's eventual distaste for his own drama, Don Juan Tenorio, was the tendency of the public to demonstrate great enthusiasm for the protagonist's licentious character: "...el publico aplaude los peores sentimientos, porque es regia que la galeria se entusiasme cuando dice Don Juan: *Yo a los palacios subx— y a las cabaftas baje— y en todas partes deje— memoria triste de m£.tsicj Don Quijote, Don Juan 2 Is Celestina (Buenos Aires: Espasa-Calpe, I 9I4B), Vo. 3 Hanse apoderado de la figura historica de Don Juan, y hasta han pretend!do ac otarsela, los biologos, los fisio- logos, los medicos— y hasta, entre estos, los psiquiatrasl— , y hanse dado a escudriiSar si es— no si era— un onanista, un eunucoide, un esteril— ya que no un impotente— , un homo­ sexual, un esquizofrenico— £que es esto?— , acaso un suicida frustrado, un ex-futuro suicida. A partir, en general, de que no busca sino el goce del momento. Ni siquiera conser- varse, menos reproducirse, sino gozarse. Proceso catabolico, que diria un biologo.3 Don Juan, subject to so many literary, popular and scientific interpretations, has consequently outgrown the possibility of strict definition. To attempt to define this character is but to add more material to the already vast legend. There can be no single absolute interpretation acceptable to all. Don Juan will continue his career, always tempting and eluding those who would attempt to fix him in a single concept, and providing a vehicle for the expression of personal ideals and thought. For this reason a comparative study of the liter­ ary interpretations of Don Juan are an invaluable aid to a greater understanding of the author's themselves. The specific problem of this thesis is the reaction of the members of the ''Generation of *98" to Don Juan Tenorio and the legend surrounding him,^4- In the course of this work, we shall necessarily become involved in a general way with another important subject* There has been a common tendency among teachers and scholars to accept the "Generation of ’98" as such, that is to say, as a generational ^Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo, El Hermano Juan (Madrid: Espasa> ^For a listing of the works devoted to Don Juan by these writers, cf. Singer, op. cit. unit. Reputable works have gone far toward establishing this theory. We might mention in particular Lain Entralgo's excellent study,-* to­ gether with Pedro Salinas1 essay^ which applies an exacting definition to this group of writers. The polemic, however, is still far from a definitive resolution. As Salinas has pointed out, even within the group, there was no agreement as to the existence of the generation: Pxo Baroja y Ramiro de Maeztu, en libros y en artlculos, han negado la existencia de esa generacion, en la que se les colocaba. Tenemos, pues, a individuos que fueron primeras cabezas de ese movimiento literario, Azorxn y Baroja, como re- p resent antes de las dos actitudes: la afirmativa y la negative de la existencia de la generacion del 98.7 Certain objections notwithstanding, the term ’'Generation of ’98” has been firmly established and will continue to be employed if only as a useful literary division and teaching tool. This need not be harmful if we are careful to avoid one prime danger, and this peril will cer­ tainly be intensified if and when the existence of the ’’Generation of *98" is fully established. The course of time will raise certain authors to immortality while it eclipses others. This is not to be regretted and is, in any event, inevitable, but we have no right to hasten the process and destroy the individuality of a literary artist, relegating him to the relative anonymity of membership in a group. This is a danger which we face, given our proximity to the period in question. 5Pedro Lain Entralgo, La generacion del noventa j ocho (Buenos Aires: Espasa-Calpe, 191*7)• 6pedro Salinas, ’’EL concepto de la Generacion Literaria apli- cado a la del 98” in his Literatura espaftola siglo XX (Mexico: Antigua Librerxa Robredo, 19l*9). It would be unfair to the writer— and possibly a sign of mediocre scholarship— to immerse him in an aggregation before we have thoroughly studied and understood his work and thought. Nevertheless, the possible relationships which may exist be­ tween writers are of paramount importance. When we are led to believe that strong bonds exist between certain authors, we are obligated to study this apparent literary kinship in detail. It may best be done by examining certain common themes or interests in terms of each individual and then relating the results to the group as a whole. Thus, it is our purpose to investigate the attitudes toward the Don Juan theme as they are expressed by certain writers of the early twentieth century commonly included in the "Generation of '98." Perhaps one of the major reasons for questioning the existence of the "Generation of *98" is the inability of the critics to come to an agreement on the exact membership of this group. This has compli­ cated our task, since it has been necessary to establish certain limits in this investigation. Among all of those who have been cited by various critics and historians, we have selected the four names most commonly associated with the "Generation of f9 8 " i Unamuno, Azorin, Baroja and Antonio Machado. Maeztu and Valle-Inclan have also been included in this study as writers frequently linked with this group and authors of well-known works touching on the Don Juan theme.

  • Un Aspecto De La Técnica Dramática De Calderón: La Geografía Y Toponimia En El Tuzaní De Las Alpujarras
    Un aspecto de la técnica dramática de Calderón: la geografía y toponimia en El Tuzaní de las Alpujarras Por Brent W. De Vos Existen varios estudios sobre cómo Calderón de la Barca adaptaba libremente los hechos históricos —según figuraban en las crónicas de su época— para que cumplieran con sus propios fines dramáticos y poéticos (véase Blue; Fox; Parker; Ruano de la Haza “Introducción”; Wilson e Yndurain). Pero apenas se ha explorado la cuestión de si Calderón hacía lo mismo con la geografía y la toponimia. Que yo sepa el único crítico moderno que ha tratado el tema en la Comedia es José Ruano de la Haza, quien comenta el efecto dramático de la ubicación de Jerusalem en la costa mediterránea en El mayor monstruo del mundo de Calderón (231 nota 14). En el presente estudio investigaremos el uso de la geografía a El Tuzaní de las Alpujarras; comedia de base histórica sobre la última rebelión morisca en la región de Granada entre 1567 y 1571. Aunque la rebelión histórica se extendió por gran parte de la provincia de Granada, en El Tuzaní de las Alpujarras Calderón restringe la acción principal de la rebelión a la sierra de las Alpujarras. En la comedia se describe la región de las Alpujarras como fragosa y difícil de transitar a causa de sus muchos riscos y peñones (El Tuzaní vv. 940-8); como un laberinto rocoso “donde el sol / aun se pierde por momentos / con andarlos cada día” (vv. 1735-7). Se señala que, a pesar de su aspereza, había en las valles de la sierra muchas villas y aldeas moriscas.

  • Don Juan Contra Don Juan: Apoteosis Del Romanticismo Español
    DON JUAN CONTRA DON JUAN: APOTEOSIS DEL ROMANTICISMO ESPAÑOL La imaginación popular hizo de Zorrilla el poeta romántico por excelencia, y de su drama Don Juan Tenorio la encarnación misma del espíritu romántico. Aunque con ciertas vacilaciones, la crítica ha aceptado, al menos parcialmente, ese veredicto: está claro que Zorrilla debe incluirse en la reducida capilla de los dramaturgos ro- mánticos españoles, y su drama, el popularísimo Tenorio, entre las obras más representativas (si no la más representativa) de ese mo- vimiento.1 Pero lo que no está tan claro es el carácter del romanticis- mo zorrülesco —sus raíces, sus alcances, y su lugar dentro de las fronteras del movimiento romántico español. Creo que un estudio de la imaginería y la ideología de Don Juan Tenorio puede revelar- nos la manera en que Zorrilla juntó muchos de los hilos diferentes de la expresión romántica y así creó una obra que es, a la vez, la cima y el fin dramático del movimiento romántico en España.2 Edgar Allison Peers dividió el movimiento romántico en dos direcciones fundamentales: el Redescubrimiento Romántico, que con- tenía los elementos de la virtud caballeresca, el cristianismo, los va- leres medievales y la monarquía, y la Rebelión Romántica, que in- 1) Ver Narciso Alonso Cortés, Zorrilla, su vida y sus obras (Valladolid, Santa- rén, 1943); Luz Rubio Fernández, «Variaciones estilísticas del "Tenorio"», Revista de Literatura, 19 (1961), págs. 55-92; Luis Muñoz González, «Don Juan Tenorio, la personificación del mito», Estudios Filológicos, 10 (1974-1975), págs. 93-122; y el excelente estudio de Roberto G.

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

Credits Presented by SPAIN arts & culture and the Shakespeare Theatre SPAIN arts & culture and the Shakespeare Theatre Company Company. Translation by John present a reading of Tirso de Molina’s pastoral Golden Age Browning and Fiorigio Minelli. masterpiece, “The Bashful Man at Court.” The Duke of Avero has the two most beautiful daughters in Spain, and the forest outside his palace abounds with endless intrigues. When Mireno, a bashful shepherd, assumes a noble disguise and comes to seek his fortune, he finds a world of duels and disguises, doubts and desires. But this “bashful man at court” has no idea of the secret that he himself bears. In Tirso de Molina’s pastoral Golden Age masterpiece, presented with artists from The Shakespeare Theatre Company, all the world is a stage and all of us wear masks in order to discover our deepest passions. Written sometime between 1606 and 1612, The Bashful Man at Court is a classic marriage comedy at heart, this play also contains some of Tirso’s strongest female characters, and (like Lope’s El Perro del Hortelano) explores the power of love to break down the rigid divisions between social classes. Golden Age poet, writer and playwright Tirso de Molina, together with Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca, is part of the golden triad of Spanish Baroque theatre.
