El taller de escritura de Calderón: el manuscrito RES-79 de la BNE

The aim of this paper is to analyse the features of calderonian writing in a partially autograph manuscript. The manuscript Res-79, by which the second version of El mayor monstruo del mundo is preserved, allows observing two fundamental aspects in this dramatic creation pro-cess at the same time: on the one hand, the importance of the scenic determinants, because the two first acts have the typical features of a company manuscript; on the other hand, the third act, autograph, is a perfect example of the dramatist’s effort to constantly perfect, explain and improve the poetic quality of his plays.&nbsp
