La comedia urbana de corte celestinesco: Corpus, cronología, contextualización ritual, estructura y motivos recurrentes

Abstract

This paper scrutinises a group of plays crucial to a better understanding of the itinerary that leads to our classical theatre: that of the urban comedy of Celestinesque type, also known by the critics as naharresca comedy or Romantic comedy. This study deals with the establishment of the corpus, its chronology and ritual contextualisation, as well as the structure of the analyzed texts and the motives that are recurrent in them.
