Synopsis "Cardenio (in Spanish)"

La historia de Cardenio, obra considerada perdida, pero que, según la comunidad académica más autorizada, sobrevive en Double Falsehood —una adaptación hecha por Lewis Theobald en 1728—, presenta interés no solo por su reciente incorporación al canon del poeta inglés o por tratarse de la probable última obra de Shakespeare, sino por ser su fuente principal la historia de Cardenio tal como es narrada en la primera parte del Quijote de Cervantes.
Representada por primera vez en 1612 o 1613 en la corte inglesa, la obra llega a nuestro tiempo no sin antes haber exhibido cierta vocación de subsistencia, y sus avatares la ubican en el centro del debate actual sobre Shakespeare y los orígenes del teatro moderno.

"Nunca sabremos si Shakespeare y Cervantes se conocieron alguna vez en persona, pero él admiraba a Cervantes lo suficiente como para usar una de las historias del Quijote para una obra de teatro. La traducción de Barcaza nos permite leer esa colaboración de cuatrocientos años en el propio idioma de Cervantes."

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
