Oficio de poeta, humor, amor y circunstancias en las <i>Cartas</i> de Lope de Vega

Abstract

This work intends to deal with the lyric corpus included in the Letters written during the period between November 9, 1608 and the end of December 1632. The poems, own, others and allegedly “other poets” are found in twenty-six missives, almost all sent to the Duke of Sesa. In this way and from the valuable materials provided by this epistolary, it is possible to propose the implementation of a certain authoring configuration at the same time that important fragments of the biography of our author are made visible. Without neglecting the established patterns for the epistolary genre, Lope slips in his letters elements that, in our opinion, belong to poetic and fictional universes that once again tell about the complex aesthetics that articulate his life and his work over and over again.
