Description
Summary:<p>The article proposes a reconsideration of the meaning of the sonnet «La calidad elementar resiste» in Lope de Vega’s life and artistic career in relation to the year of composition (1613), reviewing a critical trend that considers it linked from the beginning with the controversy on Góngora’s poetry and underscoring its role in the whole dramaturgical project of <em>La dama boba</em>. This explains why, according to the author, this comedy, and the sonnet in particular, was so important for the artist in several significant moments of his career in the decade following the composition of the play.</p>
