ALGUNAS HAZAÑAS DE LAS MUCHAS DE DON GARCÍA HURTADO DE MENDOZA, COMEDIA GENEALÓGICA DE NUEVE INGENIOS

Abstract

Algunas hazañas de las muchas de don García Hurtado de Mendoza, marqués de cañete, collaborated play by nine playwrights headed by Luis Belmonte Bermúdez, was represented and published in Madrid in 1622. It's a genealogical comedy, which was part of the propaganda campaign launched and paid by Hurtado de Mendoza's family, in order to give prestige to the figure of don García Hurtado de Mendoza, 4th Marquis of Cañete, who as Governor of Chile (1557-1561) had achieved remarkable progress in pacifying the rebellious territory of Arauco, but whose merits were not recognized by Alonso de Ercilla in La Araucana. The article studies the image of don García in the context of the Arauco War, which generated a rich corpus of literary works in the Spanish Golden Age. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
