Pero Vázquez de Escamilla y El Aguila del Agua: una nueva ojeada.

In the paper that follows I intend to shed new light on the relationships shared by Luis Vélez de Guevara's El Águila del Agua and Quevedo's comedy Pero Vázquez de Escamilla. Both dramatic poems, as documented by Plata, share the subtitle Representación española and the presence of Pero Vázquez Escamilla. In the scholar's opinion, the authors would have agreed to write two pieces in parallel on the same material. The viability of the hypothesis lies mainly in the intertextualitty of Quevedo's jácaras, which were reworked and reused by many playwrights in the 17th century, who also, on different occasions, gave continuity to the protagonists of his poetic jácaras. Our interpretation is also reinforced by the composition of El Diablo Cojuelo, a story full of stylistic uses reminiscent of Quevedo, a reference for Vélez. Everything mentioned above --with the coda of the dates ofcomposition-- leads us to conclude that Vélez de Guevara revives the literary delinquent later, inserting the character in a new fiction inspired by the extraordinary events that Quevedo had attributed to the valiente in his comedy.
