Abstract

The article proposes a critical panorama on the theatrical censorship of the work of Lope de Vega in the XVII century. From the available data and recent studies, the author defines the main types of intervention that can be documented with certainty, while accounting for significant cases of review of pieces where only hypotheses can be made about the reasons for changes, between the more than likely external pressure and the constant intention for rewriting by the dramatist.
