Desfile y entremés de figuras en Quevedo y Calderón

Abstract

This paper analyses the theatrical production of Francisco de Quevedo’s and Calderon de la Barca’s interludes by comparing one of the most significant points of contact of their respective short dramaturgies: the «entremes de figuras» and its different structural possibilities. It proposes a conceptual problematization of both categories, as well as an examination of its relevance in the development of this dramatic genre of the entremes through the study of the following plays: Los enfadosos, La ropavejera and Los refranes del viejo celoso ‒of doubtful authorship‒ by Quevedo; and the calderonian entremeses Las Jacaras and Las Carnestolendas.
