“Presumo que impresas andan”: relaciones de sucesos in Lope de Vega’s No son todos ruiseñores

Abstract

This essay aims to inquire into some of the possible connections between Lope de Vega’s narration on Maria of Hungary’s visit to Barcelona in 1630, included in his play No son todos ruiseñores, and the relaciones de sucesos (single-event news reports) published in Spain that (literally and also literarily) covered the same event.
