«Las mocedades del Cid» is the play by Guillén de Castro, published by Ediciones Cátedra in the Letras Hispánicas collection in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The play dramatises a well-known epic subject and presents a conflict between love and honour in the early years of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the Cid Campeador, with particular attention to the character of doña Jimena. It stands out for its skilful use of the Romancero, whose poems are woven into the comedy as it moves towards its denouement.
This edition, number 72 of the Letras Hispánicas collection, includes an edition by Luciano García Lorenzo and a bibliography (pages 53-60).
For readers of classical Spanish theatre, Golden Age literature and scholars of the figure of the Cid Campeador.
Guillén de Castro y Mateo was a Spanish dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age. He was distinguished member of the "Nocturnos", a Spanish version of the "Academies" in Italy.
