Abstract

Este trabajo estudia la poco conocida aportacion del dramaturgo Manuel Linares Rivas, dentro del "teatro de la cuestion social" de principios del siglo XX, como adalid del primer feminismo espanol. Para ello, recuperamos tres de sus obras mas comprometidas: Aire de fuera (1903), La espuma del champagne (1929) y Fausto y Margarita (1999 [1936])--piezas de gran exito de publico en su dia, pero habilmente secuestradas y silenciadas por la dictadura franquista, por cuanto suponian de atentado contra la ley, la moral y el decoro del 'nacionalcatolicismo'. A este respecto, nuestro analisis dedica particular atencion a la critica historico-social del papel de la mujer--hija-esposa-madre, modelada en las virtudes de la Virgen Maria--, en la pujante sociedad burguesa de finales del siglo XIX, oponiendola a un nuevo modelo de mujer progresista y librepensadora, que deberia liderar la sociedad espanola en aquel naciente y prometedor siglo XX europeista. Palabras clave: Teatro espanol, teatro feminista, papel de la mujer en el teatro. This article studies the little known contribution made by the playwright Manuel Linares Rivas to the Spanish feminist movement, within the so called "theater of social concern" at the beginning of the XX Century. To these ends, we recover three of his most controversial plays: Aire de fuera (1903), La espuma del champagne (1929) y Fausto y Margarita (1999 [1936])--widely acclaimed in their day, but successfully sequestered and silenced soon afterwards by the Francoist dictatorship, inasmuch as they posed a threat to the laws, the morality and the decorum of 'National-Catholicism'. In this regard, our analysis dedicates especial attention to the socio-historical criticism of the role of women--daughter, wife and mother, modelled on the virtues of the Virgin Mary--within the thriving bourgeois society of late XIX Century, opposing her to a new model of a liberal and freethinking woman, who was expected to lead Spanish society in that new and promising European XX Century. Key words: Spanish theater, feminist theater, role of women in theater.
