Aspectos de la tradición clásica en La Regenta de Leopoldo Alas, "Clarí­n"

Abstract

Leopoldo Alas, "Clarí­n", often mentions the Greco-Roman classics, sometimes with satyrical intention, demonstrating the ignorance or bad use of the Greco- Roman tradition in his time. I examine some aspects of this tradition in La Regenta (1884-1885), distributing the material in several items: observations about the knowledge or ignorance of Greek or Latin; mentions of authors or works from Greek literature; direct references of authors or works of Latin literature; Greek or Roman historical personages; notes of Greco- Roman culture; indication about the Greek or Latin vocabulary.
