“La polémique dans la dédicace à Marino de Virtud, pobreza y mujer de Lope de Vega (1) : à propos de quelques autres dédicaces de la Parte XX de comedias”

In the dedication to Marino included at the forefront of his play Virtud, pobreza y mujer, published in 1625 as part of his volume Parte XX, Lope de Vega reactivates elements of the controversy over Góngora’s style that are present in other dedications included in the same volume, which he does by using Marino against Góngora. Within this context, this dedication also allows for a connection between Lope’s play and Góngora’s Las firmezas de Isabela. Theatrical controversy and the controversy on poetical language are therefore interwoven around a common reflection on style.
