Calderón y el Barroco
Author(s): María Alicia Amadei-PuliceAmadei-Pulice examines the conflict between Lope's dramatic formula (comedia) and the new polytechnic formula that in the hands of Calderon merged dramatic poetry with visual and auditory effects (comedia de teatro). The author places the Spanish baroque theater within the wider context of a revolution in the theory of representation, signs, and meanings that took place at the beginning of the seventeenth century and marked the appearance of a new dramatic style: the stile rappresentativo. Special attention is given to the techniques and applications of perspectival scenery, stagecraft, optics, and the creation of visual and sound effects contributed by the Florentine melodramma. The highlighting of Italian dramatic theory and practice reveals that Calderon was an innovator and creator of a new concept in theater.

Le Cid: Tragi-comédie
Author(s): Pierre CorneilleEditor(s): Milorad R. MargitićMore LessMargitic's critical edition of Pierre Corneille's Le Cid (1637) provides scholar and student with a complete, accurate resource for the study of this famous play. The original text is reproduced, with subsequent variants indicated in footnotes. The book begins with an introduction which examines the play's genesis, sources, successive modifications, critical reception, and stage fortune as well as thematic and dramatic structure, and concludes with a bibliography. Three appendices contain texts contemporary with Le Cid which comment on the work. The first two include Corneille's comments on his masterpiece and his list of Spanish sources (accompanied by French translations). The final appendix presents a selection of particularly important documents that formed part of the Querelle du Cid. All the texts are amply but not excessively annotated. A comprehensive glossary follows the appendices.

Chanson d'Antioche, chanson de geste
Author(s): Robert Francis CookSelon une dynamique évidente mais, apparemment, irrésistible, les textes médiévaux mal connus tendent à le rester, et leur obscurité à se justifier d'elle-même. La raison immédiate en est, cette fois, une répétition régulière d'une très vieille hypothèse, jamais vérifiée, sur la nature de la Chanson d'Antioche. La présente étude vise en premier lieu à briser, au profit d'une littérature parfois incroyablement méconnue, le cercle vicieux des écrits de seconde main; elle peut aussi, à l'occasion, servir l'étude du processus d'obscurcissement lui-même. Nous nous efforçons donc de répondre ici à une double question historique et critique. Comment se fait-il qu'on entend parler si peu—et si méchamment—d'un cycle épique majeur et unifié, celui de la Croisade? Quelle est l'origine du topos critique qui assigne à ce Cycle un rang inférieur aux autres, quelquefois en le rejetant totalement hors du genre épique? Car nous avons affaire à un topos, dont il s'agit de bien mesurer l'étendue.
