Teatro De Gil Vicente by Gil Vicente

A vibrant collection of early-modern Portuguese plays that mixes sacred autos, moral allegories, and ribald farces to satirize clerical hypocrisy, noble affectation, and everyday human weaknesses; with lively vernacular dialogue, stock characters, and a blend of didactic and comic tones, the pieces probe themes of faith, justice, marriage, and social pretension while reflecting and shaping the cultural tensions of their time.
