Tirso de Molina was, with Lope de Vega and Calderon, one of the
great dramatists of 17th century Spain, which produced a theatre as
vital rich and as varied as its Elizabethan counterpart. The
Trickster of Seville is thoroughly representative of the drama of
Spain's Golden Age: a drama of fast-moving action which set its
face against classical precepts, broke the unities of time and
place, cheerfully mixed the serious and the comic, combined main
and sub-plots, and cultivated Spanish subjects and Spanish
characters. In this respect Tirso's Don Juan is of course, the most
famous character in the drama of the Golden Age, as well as the
first of a long line which extends through Mozart and Moliere to
the 20th century.
