Entre lírica y teatro: tradiciones y confluencias genéricas en la «Égloga de Torino»

Abstract

This paper is an analysis of «Égloga de Torino,» one of the first Castilian pastoral dramas, which is included in the anonymous novel Question de Amor (Valencia, 1513). Starting with a close reading, and paying special attention to its dramatic structure on the one hand, and to its rhetoric on the other one, we will try to shed some light on the literary and cultural crossroads to which the eclogue belongs. The analysis of both the structure and the dialogue will allow us to establish a link with the literary and paraliterary traditions on which the eclogue stands (the nascent Castilian theatre of Encinian roots, court poetry, pageantry and court entertainment), and also to discuss other works and to study the possible connection with the contemporary tradition of dramatic Italian eclogue.
