The King Within - Reformations of Power in Shakespeare and Calderon (Paperback, New edition)

This book contrasts the portrayal of kings and kingship in the
drama of William Shakespeare (1564-1616) and the Spanish playwright
Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-81), concentrating on the ways in
which both dramatists use the individual complexities of their
kingly characters to address the intellectual and moral dilemmas of
the ideological backgrounds that helped to create them. Against the
background of seventeenth-century Europe, when religious and
political reformation was leading to reconstructions of concepts of
authority and personal and national identity, these two dramatists
of early modern England and Spain use the increasingly theatrical
facades of absolutist power to explore the internal drama of
individual psychology and the kinship of flawed humanity.
