Resumen

SPECTOR, Matias. Coro y acción en La Dorotea: una posible cosmología. Olivar [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.28, pp.40-40. ISSN 1852-4478.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18524478e040.

In this paper I suggest that there is a cosmology inside Lope de Vega´s La Dorotea. By “cosmology” I mean a conceptual foundation that justifies the union between form and content. Popular gnostic doctrines in the Spanish Golden age period will provide the theoretical framework for this enterprise. Firstly, I will illustrate that Chorus and Action are independent and opposing narrative dimensions; secondly, I will claim that the relation between both dimensions can be understood through an analogy with predetermination and free will; lastly, I will argue that the design of La Dorotea is founded on the concept of Redemption.

Palabras clave : Lope de Vega; La Dorotea; Cosmology; Gnostic doctrines; Chorus and action.
