Abstract:
Surveys historical dramas written since the mid-19th century about the Spanish Jews and Conversos in the years before and after the expulsion of 1492. Focuses on works written in Hebrew or Yiddish, or translated into Hebrew from other languages. Relates, especially, to the play "Die Marranen" by Max Zweig, which was written in German and performed by the Habimah theater in Hebrew in 1938. Notes, also, the works of Lope de Vega (1562-1635), one of Spain's major classical writers, who wrote plays about the Jews of Spain from the Catholic perspective.
