Más sobre el gongorismo de Calderón: el pasaje de la caza real en la versión no autorizada de Casa con dos puertas mala es de guardar
Abstract
This article proposes to critically edit the wide passage in silva that describes the falconry hunting match headed by Felipe IV in Aranjuez; passage that is only found in the version of Casa con dos puertas published in Part 29 of Diferentes and, with many variants, in a manuscript of the 17th century that is now preserved in the BNE (Ms. 16553). The profuse annotation of the text, in addition to explaining its most difficult passages, underlines the keen imitation of the vv. 706-979 of Góngora’s Soledad segunda, an imitation that advocates a Calderonian authorship. Therefore, this text prompts us to turn to the question of the composition date of Casa con dos puertas, and, more generally, of the complicated textual transmission of Calderón’s comedies.
