Sul rapporto tra amore, divino e femminile nella poetica di Zorrilla, Bécquer ed Espronceda

di Simone Vincenzo Confietto

This essay explores the interrelation between love, the divine, and the feminine in Spanish Romantic literature, focusing on three major authors: José Zorrilla, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, and José de Espronceda. Through a comparative reading and by drawing upon classical and theological paradigms, such as Plato’s Symposium and Christian agápē, this study investigates how Romanticism reshapes the metaphysical power of love and its implications on gender dynamics.

La Vara di Messina e gli autos sacramentales, punto di unione tra Sicilia e Spagna

di Lucia Mancuso

This article explores the connections between the Spanish autos sacramentales of the seventeenth century and the Vara di Messina, a triumphal chariot which is still used nowadays during the namesake procession held in the Sicilian city and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. In the course of my study, quite a large number of similarities has emerged. This paper also analyzes the history of the ‘Vara’, in particular its name and how it came into being, and highlights further links with Spanish culture and language.
