Leyenda negra y leyenda azul: la visión de Felipe II y el Infante don Carlos en el teatro español del siglo XX
Abstract
This article analyses the treatment of the “black legend” and, more specifically, the conflict between Felipe II and his son, don Carlos, through two paradigmatic plays in this sense: Felipe II. Las soledades del rey, by José María Pemán and Tragicomedia del serenísimo príncipe don Carlos, by Carlos Muñiz. Thanks to the comparison between them, we are able to demonstrate the ideological use of History not only with theatrical aims but also, and essentially, with political aims. The study is completed with a review of Don Carlos, by Salvador de Madariaga and the version of Calisto Bieito y Marc Rosich of Schiller’s Don Carlos, príncipe de EspañaDownloads
