Auto da Alma, Y, Pranto de Maria Prada: Carta A El-Rei D. João III

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a compelling dual examination of some of the best works by Gil Vicente, one of the most outstanding figures in Portuguese literature. The analysis focuses on two plays by Vicente: the early play Auto da Alma, a morality play on the journey of the human soul temped by the devil, and the later work Pranto de Maria Parda which is a satirical look at 16th century Lisbon and the scarcity of wine. The author places these works within the context of Vicente's other plays and the development of Portuguese theater more broadly. The examination of Auto da Alma discusses its allegorical qualities and its echoes in Goethe's Faust as well as the influence of the morality play tradition. The discussion of Pranto de Maria Parda illuminates the social and political realities of the time as seen through the lens of Vicente's satire. This book is an invaluable source for anyone interested in the work of Gil Vicente and his contributions to European dramatic literature.
