Songs With Political Purpose: The Catalan Nova Cançó And Its Social Movement, Brooke Moschetto
Songs With Political Purpose: The Catalan Nova Cançó And Its Social Movement, Brooke Moschetto
Senior Theses and Projects
This thesis is a study of the interaction of music and politics during the social movement in Catalonia, Spain, the nova cançó.

Estudio Y Edición De La Más Constante Mujer De Juan Pérez De Montalbán, Philip Allen
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
La más constante mujer is a Spanish Golden Age play written by Juan Pérez de Montalbán in 1631 and published for the first time in 1632. Although he was once one of the most famous playwrights in Madrid, known for running in the same literary and social circles as Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca, the bulk of the dramatist's work has been greatly ignored by scholars, or is referred to as being of second rate, and the author himself has nearly tragically been forgotten throughout the centuries following his short life. Although research has been conducted to …
