LA CRISTIANÍSIMA LIS Y AZOTE DE LA HEREJÍA por Luis Vélez de Guevara

LA CRISTIANÍSIMA LIS Y AZOTE DE LA HEREJÍA por Luis Vélez de Guevara Edición crítica y anotada de C. George Peale y Raquel Sánchez Jiménez Few plays from Spain's Golden Age deal with current affairs of the time as Vélez de Guevara’s La cristianísima lis y azote de la herejía, published now for the first time. Composed in 1622, when Spain and France shared a moment of optimism and common interests sealed by a dual marriage linking the Hapsburg and Bourbon dynasties, Vélez staged events of France's War of Religion with extraordinary immediacy, and with ideological transparency articulated Spain's support for the French Crown. C. George Peale and Raquel Sanchez Jiménez's edition includes an introduction that describes the only known manuscript of the work, gives a fulsome account of the play's sources and historical circumstances, and provides many philological and historical annotations.Pocas comedias del Siglo de Oro español tratan la actualidad de la época como La cristianísima lis y a
