«Raquel» is the play by Vicente García de la Huerta, edited by René Andioc, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The play recreates the legendary love between Alfonso VIII and Raquel, a young Jewish woman of Toledo, and the clash of that passion with the interests of the kingdom, which ends with her death at the hands of conspiring nobles. Written about twelve years before its premiere in Madrid in 1778, it reflects the conflict between supporters and opponents of the absolutism of the time.
1971 edition with biographical and critical introduction, notes and selected bibliography; volume 28 of the Clásicos Castalia collection.
The edition is useful for academic study and for those approaching eighteenth-century Spanish theater.
