Description
This study's purpose is the classification of Arniches' grotesque
tragedies according to their socio-moral and sociopolitical
reforming content. Chapter One deals with the crucial
events as well as the influential figures of the Generation
of 1898 as they confront the important issues facing
Spain. Chapter Two presents a brief background of Arniches
and his grotesque tragedy and also provides the necessary
data that is used to rank these plays based on the total number
of reformist references. The works will then be studied
individually in Chapters Three and Four according to the results
of the data compiled in Chapter Two. The list of reformist
references will appear at the end of the text in
Appendixes A and B. It is hoped that the serious student of
literature will gain a better knowledge of the grotesque
tragedies as they represent the Generation of 1898's quest
for collective social reform.
