One of the most intellectually and emotionally engaging of the
Spanish Golden Age (seventeenth century) plays, as well as the most
controversial. Taking place during the reign of King Pedro of
Castile (1350-1369), it is one of the spectacular 'honour dramas',
in which the main characters confront compelling yet conflicting
imperatives. The Physician of His Honour is beautiful in its poetry
and unsettling in its resolution. For more than 350 years the play
and its author have been as fiercely reviled as they have been
enthusiastically acclaimed by audiences and readers. First
published in 1997, for the second edition the translation has been
extensively revised, with the aim of simplifying the English,
whilst continuing to respect and acknowledge as much as possible
the beauties and challenges of the original Spanish.
