Abstract

This study's purpose is the classification of Arniches' grotesque tragedies according to their socio-moral and sociopolitical reforming content. Chapter One deals with the crucial events as well as the influential figures of the Generation of 1898 as they confront the important issues facing Spain. Chapter Two presents a brief background of Arniches and his grotesque tragedy and also provides the necessary data that is used to rank these plays based on the total number of reformist references. The works will then be studied individually in Chapters Three and Four according to the results of the data compiled in Chapter Two. The list of reformist references will appear at the end of the text in Appendixes A and B. It is hoped that the serious student of literature will gain a better knowledge of the grotesque tragedies as they represent the Generation of 1898's quest for collective social reform.
