The theatrical vocation of La Lozana andaluza

Book of difficult classification, La Lozana andaluza on the one hand belongs to the diegesis by the presence of several narrative sections, despite a totally contradictory time management and the lack of a true plot. On the other hand, its dialogic structure as well as the speed of scene changes and the implicit presence of an audience of listeners, relate it to the dramatic genre and especially to the entremes, thanks to numerous autonomous episodes, destined to rise a laugh. Primitive theater, not intended for performance but for reading in front of a group of selected people, the work responded perfectly to its function of recreation for them and for temporary forgetfulness for Delicado of his ancient torments of French pox.
