- Title
¿EL CORTESANO O LOS CORTESANOS? ALGUNOS EJEMPLOS LITERARIOS EN EL MADRID DEL SIGLO XVII.
- Authors
Arredondo, María Soledad
- Abstract
Analysis of the courtier and its evolution from the Renaissance model of Castiglione-Boscán to the baroque character. The changes are shown, not only by the passage of time, but also by the literary genres that refer to this character (picaresque novel, court novel, costumbrist books, commendable literature, treatises, etc.) and by the courts they describe. It starts with examples from the 16th century to reach the Madrid court of the 17th century, according the Guía y avisos de forasteros que vienen a la corte, Los Peligros de Madrid, El día de fiesta por la mañana y por la tarde, and leading to a “historical-political” book: Solo Madrid es corte y el cortesano en Madrid, where the didactic characteristics are accentuated. It is concluded that the work of Alonso Núñez de Castro responds to both purposes of the title: the description and praise of the Court of Madrid (I), and the rules for the courtier who wants to establish himself in it (II, III, IV).
