José de Valdivieso and the paratext of the short baroque fiction: an emphasis on the strategic configuration of works of entertainment
Abstract
This study aims to examine the approvals granted by Valdivieso to the collections of short novels during the veto imposed by the Junta de Reformación in the almost two lustrums of prohibition and to ascertain a strategic configuration in the concessions of works of entertainment in the paratextual discourse of the Toledan. Although in all of them the eutrapelic balance coming from the usual protective shield of Horatian prodesse et delectare is maintained, the main criterion of validation of the paratextual discourse of the chaplain will be the delectare, opening, thus, to a process of evolution of the concept of exemplarity that would be understood in relation to a literature of amusement in the paratextual documentation of the chaplain.
