Un poema europeo en el romanticismo español: El bulto vestido del negro capuz (1835) de Patricio de la Escosura

Abstract

The article studies the narrative poem by Patricio de la Escosura El bulto vestido del negro capuz (1835), relating it to the European romantic literature of his time, which the author knew well from his stays as an emigrant in France. The work analyzes the themes and the form of a composition that is always cited but scarcely studied by contemporary and current critics. The analysis shows the connection of themes, motives and resources between this work and various productions by authors such as Byron, Schiller, Hugo and Vigni.
