Abstract

This paper explores the philology of Spanish classical theater, literary theory, and ecdotics, focussing on analyzing Lope de Vega's aesthetic proposal, the function of sonnets in his corpus, and its use as a method for dating plays.  The goal is to answer the following questions: is the sonnet fit for those characters who wait (Arte nuevo v. 308)?; can we establish a statistic correlation between a sonnet's rhythmic structure and variables such as the character's genre, role, or the subject? Can these rhythmical analyses helf dating Lope's theater corpus? Leaving aside the issue of how many plays Lope wrote, we use 134 of his works, with a total of  241 sonnets.
