Lo fantástico en escena

This book explores the fantastic in the panorama of contemporary Spanish theater from Ramon del Valle-Inclan until today. In trying to label criticism as slick as "fantastic", we should clarify that sense applies to that end: this is the purpose of the first chapter, which defines this category as a literary form and not as a genre, and outlines besides its host (or rather, its rejection) in the intellectual and literary environment of nineteenth-century Spain.
