    Annotation:

    This article draws attention to a type of XVIIth century novella that has been neglected or simply studied as a derivation of other literary manifestations. My objective is to define the main characteristics of a short narrative that we can name «burlesque novella». I define it as a short story (the regular extension of the baroque novella) containing in the heart of its plot an elaborate trick with an exemplary purpose. From this perspective, the burlesque novella is a show organized by noblemen for noblemen, composed by educated writers, that incorporated ridiculous characters on stage. The burlesque novella -founded by Salas Barbadillo, and continued by Castillo Solórzano and Tirso de Molina- is a narrative genre still misunderstood and in need of further exploration. Tirso's Los tres maridos burlados is a paradigmatic literary piece from this genre.
