Résumé

This doctoral thesis consists of a commented critical edition of �La tarasca de parto en el mesón del infierno y días de fiesta por la noche� (1672) by Francisco Santos, an interesting representative of seventeenth-cenrtury literature, whose works have been largely overlooked. From this relative lack of attention has emerged the present edition and critical study. A moralizing text with clear connections to its historical context, �La Tarasca� also offers a wide range of details on everyday life in Madrid, this being one of its most interesting features. The thesis is organized in two parts. The first is a literary analysis of the text in relation to popular festivals, in particular the Corpus Christi in which the Tarasca, a monster signifying the link between good and evil, played a major role. In addition, this section examines other festivals which the author relates to sin: May celebrations, St John�s night, pilgrimages to the river, etc. This introductory section is integrated by annotations explaining cultural and other references in the novel. The second part of the thesis is a linguistic and philogical description and analysis of the surviving editions of �La Tarasca�, evaluating their different versions and carefully detailing the ecdotic critera employed. The edition is a semi-diplomatic one and is completed by a detailed study of phonologic and graphic variants and errata. Finally, the thesis includes a series of illustrations of representations of the Tarasca.
