TORRES NAHARRO

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 61 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TORRES NAHARRO , BARTOLOM$ DE (148o1530), Spanish dramatist, was born towards the end of the 15th
century
  at Torres, near Badajoz. After some years of soldiering and of captivity in Algiers, Torres Naharro took orders, settled in Rome about 1511, and there devoted himself chiefly to writing plays. Though he alludes to the future
pope
 , Clement VII. as his
protector
 , he left Rome to enter the
household
  of Fabrizio Colonna at Naples where his works were printed under the
title
  of Propaladia (1517). He is conjectured to have returned to his native place, and to have died there shortly after 1529. His Didlogo del nacimiento is written in unavowed, though obvious, imitation of
Encina
 , but in his subsequent plays he shows a much larger conception of dramatic possibilities. He classifies his pieces as comedias a noticia and comedias d
fantasia
 ; the former, of which the Soldatesca and Tinellaria are examples, present in dramatic form. incidents within his personal experience; the latter, which include such plays as Serafina, Himenea, Calamita and Aquilana, present imaginary episodes with adroitness and persuasiveness. Torres Naharro is much less dexterous in stage-craft than many inferior successors, his humour is rude and boisterous and his diction is unequal; but to a varied knowledge of human nature he adds knowledge of dramatic effect, and his rapid dialogue, his fearless
realism
  and vivacious
fancy
  prepared the way for the romantic drama in Spain.
