Abstract

The article covers the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the presence of the mention of characters belonging to the books of chivalry in the theatrical genre of the seventeenth century. Apart from the already studied and defined phenomenon of chivalric theatre, the study aims to use four theatrical databases (TESO, ARTELOPE, Biblioteca Intratext and TEXORO) to identify the names of the most frequently quoted characters from the books of chivalry and then to analyse the dialogical context in which the quotations occur, i.e. between servants, between servants and nobles or only between nobles, in order to suggest an interpretative key to the presence of these quotations that testify to the survival of passion for the chivalric genre throughout the 17th century.
