Abstract

In the middle of the 19th century, the debate on the unification of Spain and Portugal, the so-called Iberism, brought about rather passionate arguments in both countries and triggered a reflection not only on the relation between them within the construction of their respective liberal states, but also, on their common history. This polemic was also present in the theatre, first in historic drama and later in its subsequent development, the political theatre. This piece analyses the presence of Portugal and Portuguese topics in the Spanish theatre of that period and shows that it is not unknown in the Spanish imagery and even reaches the 20th century.
