"Comedias escogidas" by Leandro Fernández de Moratín and Molière is a collection of theatrical works written in the late 18th century to early 19th century. This anthology showcases the efforts of Moratín to revive and modernize Spanish theater, emphasizing the need for reforms in the dramatic arts through his comedies. It offers insight into the tensions between tradition and innovation in Spanish drama during Moratín's time, as he grapples with various societal and artistic challenges. The opening of the book presents an overview of Moratín's life and the tumultuous context in which he wrote. It reflects on the political instability of Spain during the reign of Charles IV, which influenced Moratín's career and literary output. Notably, it describes his aspirations to elevate Spanish theater by critiquing prevailing norms and advocating for a more refined, moral form of comedy. Moratín's personal struggles, including financial instability and societal opposition, are highlighted, setting the stage for understanding his dedication to transforming the theatrical landscape despite the obstacles he faced. This sets a compelling background for the comedies that follow, emphasizing Moratín's role as both a creator and a reformist in the realm of Spanish literature.
