Produced by David Starner, Júlio Reis and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Four Plays of Gil Vicente" by Gil Vicente is a collection of theatrical works written in the early 16th century. The plays showcase a blend of religious, pastoral, and satirical themes that reflect societal norms and issues of Vicente's time in Portugal. They explore the human condition through vivid characters, including both noble figures and common folk, and are notable for their lyrical quality and nationalistic pride. The opening of this collection presents a critical introduction to Vicente's life and the significance of his works within Portuguese literature. It outlines the diverse nature of the plays included—addressing religious allegory, war, comedy, and pastoral life—while emphasizing Vicente's unique ability to blend these themes cohesively. The introduction also highlights his importance as a national poet, along with the context of Portuguese culture during the age of exploration, setting the stage for a rich exploration of both individual characters and the larger societal commentary within the plays.
