LOPE DE VEGA
COMEDIA
Edición revisada por Américo Castro
Precio: Una peseta
MADRID, 1919
Talleres "Calpe", Ríos Rosas, 24.—MADRID
Como tantas otras comedias de nuestro teatro, la presente—publicada en 1619—se basa en un hecho histórico: en 1476, los vecinos de Fuente Ovejuna (Córdoba) tomaron venganza, en la persona del comendador de la Orden de Calatrava, de las vejaciones inhumanas que aquél les hacía padecer. La crónica de Rades y Andrada narra prolijamente la justicia hecha por los aldeanos y la pesquisa ordenada por los Reyes Católicos.
Culmina en este drama el espíritu rústico y primitivo, que animó los ternas populares, muy activos dentro del teatro de nuestro siglo XVII, siglo próximo a la Edad Media tanto por su pensamiento como por la forma de sentir la vida. Otras comedias de Lope poetizan la caballerosidad o la altivez aldeana (El alcalde de Zalamea, Peribáñez, El mejor alcalde, el rey, El villano en su rincón, etc.); Fuente Ovejuna, empero, tiene como héroe a toda una villa, cuya fisonomía va concretándose en una firme progresión y acaba por adquirir tremenda e indivisible personalidad.
Los aldeanos se rebelan contra una autoridad de privilegio y se someten a la monarquía nacional, que a la sazón representaba la uniformidad de la ley, un ideal más amplio, una mayor garantía de justicia para el pueblo. De esta suerte el drama es de una profunda lógica dentro de la historia: los vecinos de [6] Fuente Ovejuna dan a su pleito la única solución jurídica y democrática entonces posible. Si sólo pensáramos que se trata de un cambio de señores y que la villa aclama a la autoridad que, con bárbara tozudez, desgarra las carnes de sus habitantes, entonces nos parecería poco motivada aquélla grandiosa conspiración.
Es curioso observar que Fuente Ovejuna fué traducida al ruso y que sus representaciones provocaron frenético entusiasmo entre las masas oprimidas por el zarismo.
Literariamente, tenemos aquí una de las más intensas producciones del teatro nacional. Lope supo conducir maravillosamente los hilos sentimentales que le ofrecía el episodio narrado en la crónica. Diversos chispazos heroicos van preparando el momento trágico en que los habitantes de la villa, sin flaquear, gimen bajo las cuerdas de la tortura. Pero esta suprema belleza, las múltiples situaciones de interés y el atractivo de los versos se manifestarán al lector sin necesidad de que el editor lo advierta.
Para imprimir esta comedia se ha tenido en cuenta el texto de la parte XII de Lope, publicada en 1619. Los paréntesis cuadrados [ ] indican que se añade algo. No se advierte, sin embargo, la modificación de algunos pequeños errores del texto, de todo punto evidentes.
De esta comedia existe un manuscrito en la biblioteca de Parma, copia del texto de 1619, y otro no autógrafo, en poder de lord Ilchester (Londres), que no hemos podido consultar. Por consiguiente, carecemos [7] de recursos para enmendar ciertos pasajes defectuosos de la obra, que quizá sólo se aclararían si se conservara el autógrafo. Cuando éstos existen se notan siempre grandes diferencias entre el autógrafo y el impreso de la época; Fuente Ovejuna, pues, contiene también yerros, que no siempre podremos enmendar. El lector excusará este pequeño alarde de erudición; pero como las ediciones llamadas monumentales están hechas, en realidad, con una gran negligencia, no hemos podido limitarnos en este caso a reproducir, sin más, una edición anterior.
No hemos puesto más indicaciones escénicas que las que figuran en el original. En el siglo XVII apenas se usaban las decoraciones, y los cambios y movimientos escénicos se deducían de las palabras de los actores. Ahora el lector tendrá que deducirlos del contexto. Lo creemos preferible a alterar el carácter original de la obra con adiciones personales.

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
