Pedro Rosete Child, poet and playwright of the seventeenth century. Biography
His biography is virtually unknown, even though he became a major dramatic author. It is only known that he passed ill most of his life and (through the Notices of Jose Antonio Pellicer de Ossau) who was beaten by the public after the failure of his work Madrid from within, the same day of its premiere, by April 1641; was a work in which various people of ill-living were portrayed and several mills were alluded to in it. He wrote some books of poetry (Lágrimas panegíricas, 1639, Elegy, 1645, to the death of Dona Isabel de Borbón and tercetos in the death of Juan Perez de Montalbán) and participated in the Academy of Madrid, since Jeronimo of Cancer wrote to him a see in 1649 where he mentions that he wrote with him and another friend, perhaps Sebastián Rodríguez de Villaviciosa, the comedy San Isidro. Works
He wrote only in God the trust, represented in 1643; Everything happens in reverse, continuation of the Medici of Florence by Diego Jiménez de Enciso and the burlesque comedy Pyramus and Tisbe, the two finest lovers (1668). He also wrote the hors d'oeuvres El Giant and The Doctor's Teasing to Juan Rana, represented at the Retirement parties in 1655. More fertile was his work in collaboration, almost always with Sebastián Rodríguez de Villaviciosa, Juan de Zabaleta, Agustín Moreto or Antonio Martínez de Meneses: Noah's ark (represented in the Montería of Seville in 1644); King Don Enrique the Sick; The best representative, San Ginés or Make your paper for real (1668) or Chico Baturi, among other pieces. At the moment there are at least two of his works published: Famous Comedy of Píramo and Tisbe, with study and edition of Pedro Correa Rodríguez (Eunsa, Zaragoza, 1977) and The conquest of Cuenca and first dedication of the Virgin of the Sagrario. Edition, introduction and notes of Hilario Priego Sánchez-Morate and José Antonio Silva Herranz (Diputación Provincial, Cuenca, 2000). Bibliography
