¿Confinados en la Arcadia y desconfinados en la corte? Una aproximación a la estructura de los relatos cortesanos en las novelas pastoriles (con una nota sobre Darinto en «La Galatea») = Confined in the Arcadia an Unconfined in Court? An Approximation to the Structure of Courtly Stories in Pastoral Novel (with a Note about Darinto in La Galatea)

The stories of courtiers who migrate to the countryside moved by misfortune are an invariable ingredient of Pastoral Novel. These characters find the solution to their problems in the Arcadia. Nevertheless, this space is not for them a place to indefinitely stay, living a Beatus ille. A fundamental part of the happy ending structure of these novels is the restitution of these characters to their places of provenience. This article will propose an analysis of this structure, contrast it with Cervantes' proposal in La Galatea and draw a parallel with the forms of interaction between city and countryside that resulted from the confinement to which the pandemic led in 2020.
