La desdramatización de la jácara en Quevedo reformada por Calderón

Abstract

The doubt about the origin of the "jacara" gender can throw different perspectives on its function and characteristics in the works of Quevedo. Initially, the "jacara" does not necessarily have a theatrical origin, but rather a lyrical one, when the poet begins its regeneration and strengthening. Just years later, with the intervention, among others, of Calderon de la Barca, the "jacaras" become fully dramatic and acquire the theatrical values that are few, if not null, in the difficult texts of Quevedo.
