Appearances in literature
In French literature Mañara was the subject of Prosper Merimée's novella Les Âmes du purgatoire (1834) and Alexandre Dumas's play Don Juan de Marana ou la chute d'un ange (1836). Théophile Gautier, Antoine de Latour,[2] Edmond Haraucourt[3] and Pierre-Paul Raoul Colonna de Cesari Rocca[4] also wrote about him, whilst Maurice Barrès dedicated a chapter to him in Du sang de la volupté et de la mort (1900)[5]
Don Juan de Marana was also the title of an opera by the British writer Arnold Bennett. In the 20th century Apollinaire also wrote about him, whilst the brothers Manuel and Antonio Machado produced the play Don Juan de Mañara (1927). There is also a four-act opera with six music-frames by Henri Tomasi and a libretto adapted from Oscar Venceslas de Lubicz-Milosz's play Miguel Mañara.[6] Finally, Esther van Loo produced a pseudo-historical biography Le vrai Don Juan, Don Miguel Mañara, published in Paris in 1950.
