original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Agustin Moreto (1618-1669) was one of the most acclaimed
playwrights of the Spanish Golden Age, his fame equaling that of
authors such as Calderon de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and Lope de
Vega. However, and in spite of the appreciation modern critics have
expressed for his work, only two of Moreto's famous plays -"El
lindo don Diego" and "El desden, con el desden"- are available in
modern editions. The present volume is a critical edition of "Los
enganos de un engano," one of many Golden Age comedies left
unpublished for many years until now. It is a supremely
conventional play, featuring archetypical issues and characters,
and is thus of particular interest for the study of the genre,
since until now many assumptions about Spanish baroque theater have
been based upon analysis of highly sophisticated plays that might
be regarded as exceptions rather than the general rule. Since most
of the plays familiar to a seventeenth century audience were more
similar to "Los enganos de un engano" than to "La vida es sueno,"
the edition and availability of texts such as this will undoubtedly
contribute to a most necessary revision of current theories on
Golden Age comedy. The modern reader wishing to become acquainted
with baroque theatre will find here an excellent starting point, as
this is a typical "cloak and dagger" comedy, including all the
basic elements of the genre expressed with the formal and
linguistic simplicity characteristic of Moreto's texts. "Los
enganos de un engano" is a delicious drama of love and jealousy,
full of identity confusion, lies, duels, ladies in love, brave
suitors, joking servants, and a father obsessed about his honor.
Stage action and logical reasoning create tangles that keep the
spectator (or reader) fully engaged until the end. Tania de Miguel
Magro's ample and detailed notes take into account the expectations
and needs both of the Spanish student and of the specialized
critic, while the foreword provides a general understanding of the
times, the genre and the author, as well as analysis and
interpretation of the play. A basic bibliography prompts the reader
to continue his research. This edition constitutes a great basis
for a fresh approach to Spanish Golden Age courses, and suggests
interesting comparisons between the realities of the 17th century
(as depicted in this play) and the more idealized images provided
by more sophisticated and literary plays of that time.
