This book provides an in-depth examination and analysis of the film
and television adaptations of Lope de Vega's theatrical dramas that
have appeared on Spanish screens since the mid-twentieth century.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, Allen draws on critical media
literacy studies, film and adaptation studies, literary theory,
cultural studies, and cultural historiography in his analysis.
Allen argues that, given the problematic reception of Lope's works
in Francoist Spain, the canonical author never held a privileged
position in the dictatorial propaganda machine. In fact,
adaptations of Lope's theater productions were subject to the same
rigorous scrutiny, if not more, than any other screenplays that
landed under censorship's microscope. Allen analyzes adaptations
produced during and after the nearly forty-year dictatorship and
questions whether the adaptors of the democratic era created films
and television shows that can sufficiently demonstrate how the
spirit of Lope's life and works can resonate with modern audiences.
Scholars of film and television studies, adaptation studies, and
history will find this book particularly useful.
