This is Volume 2 of the collected works of Gil Vicente, a major figure in Portuguese literature. Vicente (c. 1465 - c. 1536) is considered Portugal's national playwright and is often referred to as the "father" of Portuguese drama. His plays, written in both Portuguese and Spanish, blend comedy, tragedy, and religious themes, offering a rich tapestry of 16th-century Iberian culture.
This edition, prepared with revisions, preface, and notes by Mendes dos Remedios, provides valuable context for understanding Vicente's enduring contribution to the Iberian literary landscape. "Obras" showcases Vicente's mastery of dramatic form and his insightful commentary on the social and political issues of his time.
