Ingenious Simpleton: Upending Imposed Ideologies through Brief Comic Theatre

By Delia M. Montesinos

This book analyzes the role of the theatrical simpleton in the pasos of the sixteenth-century playwright Lupe de Rueda, in Mario Moreno's character "Cantinflas," and in the esquirol of the 1960s Actos of the Teatro Campesino. Spanning multiple regions and time periods, this book fills an important void in Spanish and theatrical studies.
