An assessment of the life, work and reputation of Spain's leading
Golden Age dramatist A Companion to Lope de Vega brings together
work by leading international scholars on the life and writing of
Lope de Vega Carpio, the 'fenix de los ingenios', a 'monstruo de la
naturaleza', as he was described by his rival, Miguel de Cervantes.
Spain's foremost Golden Age playwright was in addition a major
artist in prose and poetry, genres also covered by the Companion.
The contributions evaluate current critical debates and issues in
Lopede Vega studies, as well as providing new readings of key
texts. The volume attempts to do justice to the variety, profusion
and originality of Lope's output, and to outline the contours of
his reputation as an artist in literaryhistory, as well as firmly
contextualising his life and work. The variety of critical
perspectives reflects the liveliness of debate surrounding this
enduringly popular figure whose drama has recently enjoyed a
renaissance in theatres around the globe. ALEXANDER SAMSON lectures
in Golden Age literature at University College London and JONATHAN
THACKER is a Fellow in Spanish at Merton College, Oxford.
