A N T O N IO BUERO VALLEJO
M A D R lO * I
Madrid, 4-9-1933
Sstimado Sr. Gillespie:
Contesto con mucho gusto a su carta del 29 de Julio, que sfilo
hace unos dias llegfi a mis manos.
Las influenciss o antecedentes que hayan podido darse en las
obras mias donde aparece la ceguera. deberan buscarse, creo,*en
obras que yo pudieae conocer antes de escribir "En la ardiente
oscuridad". A1 respecto debo decir que, antes de esa prinera obra,
yo conocia naturalmente "El Rey Lear" y "Los c u e m o s de don Frio-
lera". Tambifin conocia, de Valle-Inclfin, "Luces de Bohemia", cuyo
protagonista estfi ciego. Y "Marianela" de Galdfis, donde el protago
nists masculino es asimismo ciego. Y conocia, cfimo no, "Edioo Rey"
y "Edipo en Colono". Conocia tambifin "El pais de los ciegos", el
famoso cuento de Wells.
iZn qufi nedida han nodido influir en mi esas creaciones? Ko lo
sfi bien. Creo qne Shakespeare habrfi influido en mi en General, nero
no esnecialmente "El Rey Lear". S6focles quizfi haya influido mfis,
por la relacifin culpa-castigo que entrana la ceguera de Edipo.
V.'ells, se.nursmente, habrfi influido, cues ha influido e'n alguna otra
obra mia n y es lectura nia temnrana. Gald6s o Valle, poco o nada
en lo referer.te a la ceeuera, aunque los admire mucho.
Uneruno es otra de mis influencias reconocidas (tengo muchas:
Cerventes, Calderfifl, Ibsen, etc.) y puede que, indirectamente, de
"La Venda" me llegasen influ^os. Pero tendria que ser muy indirec
tamente, pues, a nesar de mi o-ran aficifin a este escritor, yo, lec
tor poco metfidico, no lei ess obra hasta bastante despufis de haber
escrito la primera mia de ciegos. Lo mismo podria decir de "Los
ciegos" de Maeterlinck, obra que se me citd alguna vez como posible
antecedente, pero que yo no conoci hasta mucho despuds de pscribir-
la mia.
En esta cuestifin de las fuentes, siempre compleja, yo me incli-
no a nensar cue las mfis honcas son siempre otras, que la critica no
suele rastrear y de las que el propio escritor no tiene a menudi
conciencla. irobeblemente, en el tema de mis "cegueras" habrfin in—
fluido, nfis que obras donde enarezcan ciegos, otras donde, sin
hsberlos, las limitaciones, sub.ietivismos y tragedias humanas Pen
man especial fuerza; por e.iemplo, "La vida es sueno" de Calderfia.
Mucho le a-rad=zco su eleccifin .de un especto de mi teatro para
su tesis doctoral. Si, mfis adrlante, necesitase consultarme alguna
otra cosa, le ccntestarfi sustosamente.
