Desde su publicación en la Tercera Parte de comedias del Maestro Tirso de Molina, impresa en Tortosa (1634), La elección por la virtud ha llegado a nosotros a través de seis ediciones posteriores, pero ninguna de ellas con edición crítica. En esta tesis se catalogan errores y erratas que han ido transmitiéndose de texto en texto, se ofrece un estudio pormenorizado de la comedia, se estudia su métrica y se anotan aspectos lingüísticos y culturales de cada escena, además de estudiar la comedia de Matos Fragoso considerada un plagio de aquella: El hijo de la piedra . El objetivo de este trabajo es acercar el texto a la obra que salió de la pluma de Tirso, y de la que no se conserva manuscrito, y situar la comedia en un lugar destacado en el conjunto de su obra. Además se datan las fechas de escritura y representaciones de la comedia. / Since its first publication within Tercera Parte de comedias del Maestro Tirso de Molina, printed in Tortosa (1634), La elección por la virtud has come down to us through six later editions, but a critical one was never made. In this thesis, all the mistakes and errors that have been passed on from text to text are catalogued, it provides a detailed study of this play, its metrics and the linguistic and cultural aspects of each scene are recorded; besides it is also studied the so considered a plagiarism Matos Fragoso’s play: El hijo de la piedra. The aim of this essay is to bring the text to work from Tirso’s pen, and which is not preserved as manuscript, and put the comedy in a prominent place within the whole work of the poet. It also figures out the dates of writing and performances of play.

Considered one of the greatest playwrights of the Spanish Golden Age, Tirso de Molina (1580?-1648) lived something of a double life, alternating—much like the characters in his plays—between two separate and often conflicting lives. Though Tirso, whose real name was Gabriel Téllez, spent the greater portion of his life in the church as a Mercedarian friar, his dramatic output as a playwright was prodigious in scope. Fewer than 90 of his plays survive today, and only a handful have been translated into English. This M.F.A. thesis therefore presents the first-ever English-language translation and adaptation of one of Tirso’s plays, El amor médico, translated as Love the Doctor. The translation/adaptation is preceded by an introduction, as well as by chapters contextualizing the play in the writing of Tirso, the comedia, and the world of seventeenth-century medicine and cross-dressing. The thesis concludes by examining both the translational strategies and artistic choices made at various stages in the process of translating and adapting Tirso’s circa 1621 comedia .

Among the diverse fabric of masculinities that prestigious authors such as Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and Agustin Moreto weave into their plots, fashion proves to be a common thread and a particularly useful tool. Thus, as I approach the idea of "Fashionable Masculinities" and investigate a few "macho" and/or not so "macho men" in Early Modern drama I hope to go beyond the traditional interpretations, stereotypes and icons often associated with men---in particular, Spanish men in Golden Age drama. This will be achieved by revisiting typical cases and compared through research and documentation of atypical representations of maleness that could be considered displacements and/or subversions of the social matrix. In effect, this study explores how the male ideal is shaped and judged both by the essence of his personality, as well as his physical appearance (i.e.: clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, discourse and voice). As such, it becomes evident that masculinity is moulded, influenced, enhanced, exaggerated and even muted as it is subject to the whim of different fashions prevalent at a specific moment in time. Moreover, a multitude of social, cultural, racial and historical factors determine the always changing image of the so called "macho man". / Therefore, in order to explore distinct representations of masculinity I approach three different comedias by three different playwrights while comparing how the main character's masculinity fared in three very important spaces: physical, social and sexual. I focus my attention on Saber del mal y del bien by Calderon. Secondly, Don Gil de las calzas verdes by Tirso and explored El lindo don Diego by Moreto. Each one the these represents a different degree of palatable male identities given this particular social construct.
