- Title
Acercamiento social e ideológico a las jácaras de Quevedo. «Carta del Escarramán a la Méndez».
- Authors
Becerra Mayor, David
- Abstract
This paper tries to connect Quevedo's jácaras (especially "Letter from Escarramán to la Méndez") with its specific historical context. These comic ballads of low life are a description of the criminal underworld in the Golden Age society. Therefore, it has been really important to analyse the context of poverty that many people were suffering in Spain at that moment. The conclusions of this study are later applied to literature. One of the main aims of this paper is to understand why Quevedo, a well-positioned poet in the Court, gives voice to delinquents, prostitutes and other criminal characters.
