Resumen

La génesis de un símbolo: Isabel la Católica en el teatro reaccionario español de la década de 1930

The image of Isabel I of Castile was very used by the Franco regime in order to symbolize a united, catholic and imperial Spain. The origins of this interested articulation of the queen must be sought in Santa Isabel de España and La mejor Reina de España , two reactionary plays of the Thirties respectively written by Mariano Tomás and Luis Rosales and Luis Felipe Vivanco (coauthored). These plays would endow the Nationalists with a fundamental element for the construction of an ideology that allowed them to justify their actions.
