- Summary
- "Calderon De La Barca (1600-1681) - by most accounts the greatest playwright of a great era, the luminous siglo de oro or Spanish Golden Age - remains best known in the English-speaking world for one play, Life Is a Dream. Like any truly great artist, however, Calderon's brilliance is impossible to understand through a single work. His range of subject, style, and tonality is vast, encompassing tragedy, metaphysics, romantic comedy, honor, illusion, reality, and religion. This group of plays demonstrates the scope of his achievement, in accessible, accurate, production-tested translations. Equally at home in the classroom or the theater, these texts bring a major playwright to life for English-speaking audiences."--BOOK JACKET.
