Los procedimientos de copia y autocopia en el teatro jesuita español: su plasmación en el jesuita Andrés Rodríguez

Abstract

Theatrical works composed for performance in schools constitute a complex phenomenon, where there is often no clear distinction as to authorship between the individual and a collective of anonymous writers. One of the most observed charac­teristics of this type of theatre is the frequency with which texts are copied, or even self-plagiarized, with whole sections of texts moving freely from one work to another. The present paper discusses the features of this procedure in the works of the Jesuit writer Andrés Rodríguez.
