Abstract

The subject of this article deals with the dramatic personality and the politic affairs of Tomás Rodríguez Rubí. His decisive contribution to the development of the dramatic reforms in the 19th century and his historic plays with political purpose are the aim of our research. Our intention is to recover Rubí from oblivion and to show what a famous dramatist he was. We have studied some of his most important plays, in which he wrote hard criticisms against the corruption in the upper class.
