The Golden Age of Spanish drama extends from the close of the 15th
century to the death of Calderon in 1681. During that time, the
humanists, as dramatists, followed Italy's artistic awakening
direction, and imitated Classical drama. With originality and
dreams of greatness, they subverted the nature of tragedy; modified
the approach of Comedy and invented the New Play, the Comedia
Nueva. In it the poet-dramatists introduced important modificaitons
of realism, included imagined reality, Christian symbolism and
theatricality, as artistic truth. They elaborate all kinds of
syntheses. For this reason, the Spanish Golden Age theater can be
viewed as part of a tradition that includes the Greco-Roman comedy
and tragedy, Christian tragedy, and the authentic national literary
and dramatic tendencies. The entries in this reference book explore
the fascinating history of the Golden Age of Spanish drama. The
volume begins with an introductory overview of the literary,
cultural, and historical contexts that shaped dramatic writing of
the period. The book then presents alphabetically arranged essays
for nineteen significant Spanish dramatists of the Golden Age. Each
essay is written by an expert contributor and includes biographical
information, an analysis and evaluation of major works, a
discussion of critical response to the plays, and an extensive
bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The volume closes
with a selected general bibliography of central critical studies of
Golden Age Spanish drama.
