Even though the aesthetic quality of his drama competed with that of his contemporaries, many with whom he interacted (Ionesco, Genet, Brecht, Grotowski, etc.), Nieva's recognition was unduly delayed within Spain and, on the international scene, his name remains eclipsed by playwrights such as Federico García Lorca and Antonio Buero Vallejo. Traditionalist and populist yet cosmopolitan and neo-avant-garde, Nieva began writing plays in the late 1940s but never got the chance to perform any on the commercial stage until 1976, a few months after the death of General Francisco Franco, whose censorship machine forced his work underground. Hard to subject to any single classification, Nieva's theatre is as complex as it is innovative in its combination of resources from a wide range of artistic trends, from the \u003cem\u003egénero chico\u003c\/em\u003e to the Baroque to postmodernism. \u003cem\u003eCoronada y el toro\u003c\/em\u003e is a sophisticated masterpiece, rich in intertextuality, humour, and suspense. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 22, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51752078836000,"sku":"9781839541315","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/94aa8aafd37d6d5dd0a0278f6bd246eb.webp?v=1779987350","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/francisco-nieva-coronada-y-el-toro-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
