O knihe

Comedia de la libertad de España por Bernardo del Carpio, a play written in 1579 by Juan de la Cueva, is based
upon events in the life of the legendary hero of the Spanish Middle Ages. Professor Burton demonstrates in this first
complete study of the play that Cueva goes beyond the mere presentation of Bernardo del Carpio and his victory
over Charlemagne and the French army at Roncesvalles. The study is important in the criticism of the early Spanish
Theater because it shows that Cueva imbued his play with many levels of meaning, as the exultation of a national
hero, as a political allegory of Philip lI's attempt to add Portugal to the Spanish crown, as a triumph of virtue over
vice, and, at its heart, as a statement of faith in which forgiveness and the promise of redemption follow sin and
repentance. "Burton deserves thanks for his interesting analysis of Cueva's style. Future Bernardo studies will have
to take this work into consideration."-Anthony J. Cárdenas, Journal of Hispanic Philology.
