Summary "Las máscaras, vol. 1/2" by Ramón Pérez de Ayala is a literary work that appears to consist of critical essays on theatrical art, written in the early 20th century. The volume includes various essays reflecting on the Spanish theater, its evolution, and a commentary on its authors, suggesting that it addresses the changing landscape of dramatic literature during that period. The author engages with notable figures in Spanish theater, such as Benito Pérez Galdós and Jacinto Benavente, through critical analysis, aiming to both justify and enrich discussions surrounding theater and its significance. The opening of "Las máscaras" serves as a preamble where Pérez de Ayala introduces his compendium of essays. He acknowledges the eclectic nature of the writings, which were published at different times and under varied circumstances, yet insists on a coherent thematic unity concerning the evolution of theatrical criticism. The author critiques the perception of drama and its critics, suggesting that many fail to grasp the intricacies of Galdós's and Benavente's works. He raises essential questions about the nature of theater as an art form in transition, the role of critics, and the societal context in which these dramas emerge. This sets the stage for a more detailed examination and analysis of specific theatrical pieces that follow in the volume. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
