Abstract

The scenic vigour displayed by sixteenth century Portuguese drama stems mainly from a specific set of outstanding characters that, endowed with caricaturesque traits, become a part of the social scenery. As such, they were identified, both by the dramatists and the audiences, as representative of certain groups, evolving thus into specific types. Among them, one of the most relevant figures are those of the «regateiras» or wandering female sellers. The author of this article focuses her attention on this itinerant figure and its importance in sixteenth century Portuguese society as reflected in diverse plays belonging to the Vincentine school.
