The Moor's Last Sigh: National Loss and Imperial Triumph in Lope de Vega's The Last Goth.
This essay examines the intertextual relationship that exists between the cycle of popular Spanish ballads that narrate the fall of the Iberian Peninsula's last Visigothic King, Rodrigo, in the year 711 CE and Lope de Vega's play El último godo (The Last Goth) (1618), which is partially based on thi...

Through an examination of various residual echoes that connect Lope's play to a number of romances fronterizos (the "frontier ballads" of the medieval borderlands between Christian and Islamic Spain), this essay argues that The Last Goth obliquely sings the praises of a very successful (and already completed) Christian "Reconquest" of the Iberian Peninsula at the very same moment that it overtly stages what was considered by Lope and his contemporaries to be the greatest tragedy in Spain's national history. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Essay src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Latch: A Journal for the Study of the Literary Artifacts in Theory, Culture or History is the property of Dulia et Latria - Matt Horn and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
