| Sumario: | This article attempts to prove that La cruel aragonesa, a short novel by Alonso de Castillo Solórzano (Jornadas alegres, 1626), is a text which, despite critical indifference, gathers together diverse ingredients that distinguish it as a gothic work or art. There are other Baroque works remarkable for their terrifying and macabre aspects, but none combines all the elements that appear in this novel, where we find a monstrous woman capable of performing terrible acts of great cruelty, and in which, among other things, we witness several homicides, the desecration of corpses, the resort to black magic and the torment exerted on the protagonist by the spectral voices that plague her. |
