This volume presents a new approach to Spanish Baroque drama,
inspired by Foucauldian discourse archeology, whose rare fusion of
meticulous philology and ambitious theory will be exciting and
fruitful both for specialists of Spanish literature and for anyone
invested in the history of European thought. Detailed readings are
dedicated to some of the most prominent plays by Lope de Vega and
Calderon de la Barca, both autos sacramentales (El viaje del alma;
El divino Orfeo; La lepra de Constantino) and comedias (El castigo
sin venganza; El principe constante; El medico de su honra). The
"archeological" perspective cast on the plays implies an
integration of their discourse-historical "foils", from pagan
antiquity through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as a
discussion of related discourses, mainly theological, philosophical
and historiographical. A separate "excursus" suggests a
reconsideration of the common manner in which the discursive
relation between the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Mannerism and
the Baroque is conceptualized.
