«Teatro» is an anthology of dramatic works by Juan del Encina and Lucas Fernández, published by Orbis in hardback (252 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together seven pieces of sixteenth-century Spanish theatre: pastoral eclogues, religious autos and comic farces. Juan del Encina presents scenes of rustic setting and devout subjects; Lucas Fernández cultivates farce and the passion play. The anthology, with selection and notes by Esteban Gutiérrez, orders the whole and provides reading keys.
Teatro is volume 42 of the Historia de la Literatura Española collection, published by Ediciones Orbis in 1983. The selection, edition and notes are by Esteban Gutiérrez.
The anthology is aimed at students of Spanish literature and readers interested in the origins of theatre, with annotated edition of the texts.
Juan del Encina was a Spanish composer, poet, priest, and playwright, often credited as the joint-father of Spanish drama, alongside Gil Vicente. His birth name was Juan de Fermoselle. He spelled his name Enzina, but this is not a significant difference; it is two spellings of the same sound, in a time when "correct spelling" as we know it barely existed.
