| Sumario: | In 1621 and 1624, Lope de Vega published two miscellaneous works of similar title, structure, and content: La Circe and La Filomena. In them, mythological poems, epistles, sonnets and short novellas coexist in a dispositio decided by the author. In recent years, critics have delimited the characteristics of a new period of Lopesque production in which the writer tried to gain access to the circles of power through his writing. I will make a tour through some of the female figures that mobilize the miscellanies. I will focus on their dedicataries: Leonor de Pimentel and María de Guzmán and on the mythological women around whom the poems are built to verify how this content serves the poet to insert himself within the courtly environment, to reach the powerful and to outline a poetics of female reading from the presence of two non-canonical literary genres: the epilio and the epithalamium. |
