His tragedies provide a forceful pedagogical example. Furthermore, the outstanding quality of Venegas’ plays gives an outlook on the influence of Jesuit college theatre on the future Baroque masterworks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
