Short description:
This book was the first scholarly biography of Spain's most important early modern dramatist to be published in English.
MoreLong description:
Don Pedro Calder&&&243;n de la Barca (1600-81) is Spain's most important early modern dramatist. His varied career as a playwright, courtier, soldier and priest placed him at the heart of Spanish culture, and he reflected on contemporary events in his plays, most famously La vida es sue&&&241;o (Life is a Dream). In this scholarly biography of Calder&&&243;n in English, Don Cruickshank uses his command of the archival sources and his unparalleled understanding of Calder&&&243;n's work to chart his life and his political, literary and religious contexts. In addition, the book includes much fresh research into Calder&&&243;n's writings and their attributions. This elegant, erudite work will bring Calder&&&243;n to a new audience both within and beyond Spanish studies. With illustrations, extensive notes and a detailed index, this is the most comprehensive English-language book on Calder&&&243;n, and it will long remain the key work of reference on this important author.
'This book will be a must-read for students and scholars of early modern Spanish theatre and literature, and for early modern scholars in general. It is a superb work of scholarship, one that I cannot praise too highly.' Edward H. Friedman, Vanderbilt University
