Abstract


Agustín de Montiano y Luyando didn't write Virginia (1750) and Ataúlfo (1753), the first Spanish neoclassical tragedies, how «playing theatre», but «reading theatre». Both tragedies were read in selected intellectual and artistic circles, because atmosphere of Spanish theatre didn't accept the neoclassical tragic method that Montiano proposed. Ataúlfo isn't an antiabsolutist tragedy wrote against the establishment of the Spanish monarchy. Ataúlfo explains disillusionment and disappointment of Montiano about political intrigues of Marqués de la Ensenada and Rávago, when Fernando VI Government signed the concordat with the Pope Benedicto XIV in 1753.
