Vega

Japanese: ベガ

A playwright and poet who represents the Golden Age of Spanish literature. A prolific writer who was called a "monster of nature," he is said to have written about 2,000 plays, but only about 400 remain today. Known as the perfector of the national drama, the Commedia, the key point of his playwriting method was that he ignored the rules of classical drama, such as the "rule of three unities," and adapted his plays to the tastes of the audience. His works can be broadly divided into "cloak, sword, and play" (love plays of manners and customs) and those that take inspiration from history and folk poetry, with many of his masterpieces belonging to the latter category, including Fuenteovejuna, The Knight of Olmedo, and The King is the Unique Justiciar.

スペイン文学黄金世紀を代表する劇作家，詩人。〈自然の怪物〉と称された多作家で，およそ2000編の戯曲を書いたといわれるが，現存するのは400編余である。国民劇《コメディア》の完成者として知られる彼の劇作法の要点は，〈三一致の法則〉（三統一）をはじめとする古典劇の掟を無視し，観客の好みに合わせたというところにある。彼の作品を大別すれば〈マントと剣と劇〉と呼ばれる風俗恋愛劇と歴史や民衆詩に題材を求めたもの，ということになるが，傑作の多くは後者に属し，《フエンテオベフーナ》，《オルメードの騎士》，《国王こそは無二の司法官》などが代表作である。
