, Iákovos Rizos Nerulós
Although drama stands as one of the great contributions of Greece to world literature, the history of Greek drama has not undergone any linear development. We are aware, on the one hand, of our debt with Byzantine scholars as regards the transmission and study of classical plays and, on the other, the problematics that has arisen around the origins of Neo-Greek theatre. The present article —which was delivered as a lecture in III Encuentros sobre Grecia: El teatro griego (Granada, 1991)— approaches the recovery of the Greek comedy of Constantinople’s learned society («fanariotas»), applying the patterns of French comedy and analyzing, eventually, the profile of both Iakovos Risos Nerulos (1778-1850) and his widely known and polemical comedy Korakistika (1813).
