Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book places the renowned romance and tragedy of Calderon at the heart of a tale blurring intrigue, politics, violence, and love within the grand setting of 17th century Spain. The author traces the play's origins back to a novella by a contemporary of Calderon, as well as to other plays of the time, to give context to the dramatic variations introduced by Calderon. The book delves into the play's diverse themes of honor and duty triumphing over passion, the impossibility of resisting youthful love, and the often-irreconcilable conflicts arising from duty and love. The author's insights provide a deeper understanding and enjoyment of this enduring Spanish play for the general reader and serious theatre scholar alike.
