Abstract

150
The court theater of Francisco Bances Candamo sirves as a medium for studying the relationships between power and literature that existed in the Golden Age in general, and in the court of Carlos II in particular. Within this context, Bances Candamo’s theater pursues a pedagogical goal tied to the policies of the monarch, to which the playwright adds references to contemporary politcs, and above all, presents images of the ideal monarch. This paper demostrates the impossibility of discovering, in the courtly comedies of Bances Candamo, elements interpretable as criticisms of royal power.
