This volume is a sequel to Four Comedies of Calderon (1980), which
was hailed by reviewers as superb, faithful, and actable. The three
comedies in the present volume are generally counted among
Calderon's masterpieces: Casa con dos puertas mala es de guardar (A
House with Two Doors Is Difficult to Guard); No hay burlas con el
amor (No Trifling with Love); Mananas de abril y mayo (Mornings of
April and May). For the first time theaters will have the
opportunity of staging these three masterpieces of the Golden Age
drama of Spain in accurate and charming English versions. The verse
used is flexible and musical, preserving the atmosphere and much of
the poetic quality of the originals. An introduction deals with the
characteristics of the plays and with the problems they pose for
the translator. Concise explanatory notes clarify Golden Age
dramatic practices.
