About this work of fiction
Fuente Ovejuna, by Lope de Vega : a Play (English/spanish) by Lope de Vega, William E. Colford is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.
Fuente Ovejuna (C.1613) is the most famous and frequently performed play by the creator of Spanish theatre, Lope de Vega (1562-1635). Astonishingly for its period, it celebrates the murder in 1476 of a nobleman, the Grand Commander of the Military Order of Calatrava, by the peasants he had oppressed, and their subsequent solidarity under torture. Fuente Ovejuna, however, is less a history lesson or political tract than an optimistic moral fable.
It is typically read by readers looking for immersive, entertainment-first reading.
