| The topic of Elizabethan Spain fascinated Valle, who had previously discussed it in Farce and License of the Castiza Queen. In the last years of the reign of Ferdinand VII, absolutism mitigated its rigor, while at court a vast intrigue began to form around the monarch's brother, which continued with the accession of Isabel II to the throne after the repeal of the Salic law. . His entire reign will be an uninterrupted series of conspiracies, revolts and cliques. Within the caricature of what was already a grotesque reality, Valle manages to use all the current clichés, all the party slogans, and to compose a mosaic of real and invented characters, throughout the history of the family. Torre-Mellada. A work starring the intrigues, lobbying and cliques of a time in which there was no shortage of palace miracles or stigmatized nuns. J. Manuel García de la Torre, professor of Spanish Literature in Holland, begins the study of Iberian Ruedo with The Court of Miracles, providing all the historical and literary keys to understanding this difficult fresco of the Spanish reality of the time. |
