Description
Summary:States that the Conde de Villamediana's court comedy "La gloria de Niquea" premiered on May 15, 1622, during the Fiestas de Aranjuez, which were celebrated on the occasion of the 17th birthday of King Philip IV. Indicates that the work is surrounded by both a geographic and a literary enigma. Informs that Villamediana was assassinated in August 1622, only three months after the premiere of his work, for reasons that various investigators have attributed to the work itself. Notes that the work was edited 7 years later, in 1629, framed by the prose text of an anonymous author. Examines the relationship between the narrative frame and the theatrical piece of Villamediana. Analyzes the power of the margins (the frame as a subversive element opposite the framed work), as well as the margins of power (the motives that led to the assassination of the Conde).
