«Lo caballeresco en el teatro de Calderón: unas propuestas»

We discuss the problems posed by attempts to define a chivalric genre in Calderón's production, and we attempt to examine under the lens of the chivalric a set of plays characterized by a mechanism of broad transtextuality, which also encompasses other plays and other narrative and poetic genres. In this way, not only is the corpus of works that refer in some way to the chivalric universe expanded, but also the substantial hybridism of festive pieces composed for palace performances, which are difficult to fit into the best-known generic grids, is explored in greater depth.
