One knows the interpretation championed by José Antonio Maravall, who saw in the theatre of the Golden Century, a propaganda machine for the power. Things cannot be that simple in such a complex society and culture, which saw the birth of playwrights like Lope or Calderón, or writers like Cervantès. That the theatre had defended the political system in the Golden Century cannot be said without nuances. The present volume of the Bulletin Hispanique tackles with some of these problems, applied to a large list of authors. Tirso de Molina and Calderón in the first place, but also authors of less known plays: the criollo Peralta Barnuevo, the “Epístola de Amarilisa Belardo”, Enríquez Gómez, Pérez de Montalbán ou Lope de Liaño. The points of view are as vast and varied: from philological annotation to moral, mythological and anthropological themes; genres and conventions; problems of translation and transposition to other cultural contexts; the figures embodying diverse modes of power; the survival or nullity of models; the relation theory/practice; without forgetting the usual question of the inconstant good fortune of favourites, or the symbol, central in political emblems: the horse.
