Abstract

In addition to commemorating a historical ephemerides, Lope de Vega’s Elasalto de Mastrique exalts war as an activity that promotes feelings of nationalcohesion and fosters among soldiers something close to what the anthropologistVictor Turner calls communitas. In my article I study several aspectsof this comedia-Lope’s debts with his main source; the interaction at variouslevels of “high” and “low” elements; Alejandro Farnesio heroic characterization.My main goal is to explore how Lope sees in the military communitasdepicted in the play an image of the alleged virtues of the Spanish nation.
