چکیده :
This is a multidisciplinary study of madness, melancholy and the insane asylum in Lope de Vega's Spain. The study consists of three chapters about madness in Lope's theatre and three about madness in the Golden Age. Between 1580 and 1620 the boom of medical treatises on melancholy is a symptom of the economic and psychological crisis of the times. The writings by theologians and political thinkers (such as Juan de Mariana) express the discomfort felt under Hapsburg rule. The Spanish insane asylums--hospitals and prisons--become more repressive as the economic crisis worsen during the 17th Century. Lope writes many plays on the theme of madness between 1590 and 1620. In that context Los locos de Valencia, La Quinta de Florencia, El príncipe melancólico, El mármol de Felisardo, El ruiseñor de Sevilla, El último godo, Belardo elfurioso, and the byzantine novel El peregrino en su patria , among others, are analyzed. Melancholy is portrayed as comic in the urban and courtly plays, and as tragic in honor plays. Lovesickness and the tyrant's melancholy are types of madness most dramatized. Lope uses madness in order to reflect upon the relation between desire and power. In his works there are realist elements, since the author knows the reality of insane asylums. Interested in the relationship between madness and theatricality, Lope finds inspiration in medical ideas about the healing powers of laughter and catharsis. Lope conceives his Comedia as therapy for the "Melancholic Spain". The plays studied refer to Philip II, Philip III, Lerma, the expulsion of the moriscos and the uprisings of Aragon. In the plays about madness one appreciates an unknown and fascinating Lope, committed to the present but ambiguous and contradictory in his relationships with power. The study of lovesickness and tyranny in his early plays illuminates a new reading of classic works, such as Fuenteovejuna, Peribáñez, El caballero de Olmedo, El castigo sin venganza , and El arte nuevo .
