Keywords:
literature, loose folds, songs, Hispanic Ballads, oral traditionAbstract
This paper intends to produce a comparative analysis of 49 oral samples of the kind of chapbook known as “romance de ciego” and titled ‘The Woman Murdered by her Lover’ or ‘The Dance’. The main goal here is to acknowledge the traditionalizing mechanisms involved in the process of transmission of this motif. Also, the work will try to establish the degree to which there may appear various versions of a romance which was transmitted orally and on a late date, from a Chapbook. To do this, a detailed analysis of the level of discourse and on the plot configuration will be carried out, identifying links and similarities to other romance topics.
