This is the first book to examine the rise of Spain's extraordinary
national theatre in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in all
its aspects - the commercial theatre, the court drama and the
Corpus autos, the organisation of theatrical life, the playhouses
themselves and their public, the literary and moral controversies,
and the plays as literary texts. The book has been written for
students of drama as well as Hispanists: Spanish theatre is set in
its national and international context; Spanish titles and
theatrical terms are translated. Considerable space has been
devoted to the experimental drama of the sixteenth century before
Lope de Vega. At the core of the book is a highly distinctive,
successful national theatre which mirrored the energies, beliefs
and anxieties of a great nation in crisis, yet at the same time
granted full expression to the individual genius of its greatest
exponents - Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderon de la Barca.
