The female main character in "Coplas de Puertocarrero": scenic relevance and pro-feminism. Comparison with other feminine voices in “cancioneros”
Keywords:

Abstract
This article tries to discover the scenic relevance of “Ella” (“She”); the main character in the Coplas de Puertocarrero. To this purpose, her role is not only analyzed in the work, but in relation to other female voices in the 15th century “Cancioneros”. Her insolent realism demystifies the expected courtly speech of her conversational partner and, especially, it shows a clear recognition of women in the changing society in the late 15th century, when ladies played a prominent role.Downloads
