Bøger af David Thatcher Gies

El profesor David Gies no devuelve a los olivdadizos espanoles una parte apasionante y casi perdida de nuestra historia cultural. Su libro trata del teatro, pero en muchas de sus paginas hay also de novelesco.

The Frenchman Juan de Grimaldi was instrumental in the development of the Spanish theatre in the 1820s and 30s, at a time when censorship, repression, and economic chaos had left it in a state of stagnation.

This is the first comprehensive study of the theatre of nineteenth-century Spain, which produced more than 10,000 plays. David Gies re-evaluates the canon of texts, uncovering dozens of plays and authors previously ignored by critics, and placing them in the social and political context of their times.
