The first comprehensive study of Calderon in English Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-1681) is one of the most important dramatists - many would say the single most important dramatist - of the Spanish Golden Age. Spain's dominant and most prestigious playwright for much of the seventeenth century, his work is still regularly staged and translated, influential in more recent times on writers as diverse as Schiller, Shelley and Lorca. The author of around 120 plays (not counting his numerous Corpus Christi autos) in a variety of styles, Calderon is most famous for his stirring dramas, characterized by rhetorically powerful poetry, dramatic structures carefully calibrated to produce poignant echoes, and the fizzing intellectual energy they apply to the age's ontological, eschatological and political preoccupations. His plays succeed in combining these perennial concerns with compelling plots subtle enough to defy definitive interpretation. As this volume seeks to show, however, Calderon's comedies deserve equal recognition. Too long stereotyped as a dour, cerebral conservative, this playwright's comic works are as amusing as they are clever. This Companion is the first comprehensive study of Calderon in English. It provides a rigorous but readable introduction to the man, his work and its legacy. Its chapters - written by leading international comedia specialists - provide an overview of his life, explain his intellectual, social, moral, and literary contexts, and examine his stagecraft, his corpus, and his reception both within and without the Hispanic world up to the twenty-first century. Specific chapters are devoted to La vida es sueno, his most famous work, which appears on many a university syllabus, and to his infamous wife-murder plays.

Este volumen analiza el lugar y el perfil del teólogo en el Siglo de Oro español. Los capítulos que lo integran se centran no solo en los miembros del clero católico, sino también en los seguidores de corrientes religiosas como el recogimiento, el dejamiento, el alumbradismo y la devotio moderna. La figura del teólogo se aborda desde las perspectivas de los estudios literarios y culturales, la teología y la filosofía. Son objeto de atención la concepción que el teólogo tenía de sí mismo, su actitud, conocimiento, formación, influencias y actividades, que atestiguan los tratados, los textos ficcionales y la literatura religiosa del Siglo de Oro. Se plantean cuestiones como las consecuencias de la Reforma y la Contrarreforma en la imagen de los teólogos, sus relaciones familiares y económicas con otros miembros de la sociedad, y el importante papel que alcanzaron en este período como autores literarios. Dieser Sammelband analysiert den gesellschaftlichen Ort und das Profil des Theologen im Siglo de Oro, wobei auch Vertreter religiöser Lehren, die nicht dem katholischen Klerus angehörten, also Repräsentanten  der Strömungen des  recogimiento,  dejamiento,  alumbradismo oder der  devotio moderna Berücksichtigung finden. Es kommen die Perspektiven vor allem von Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft, Theologie und Philosophie zu Wort. Analysiert werden Selbstverständnis, Haltung, Wissen und Ausbildung, Einflussbereich und Tätigkeitsfeld der Theologen, wie sie in Traktaten, fiktionalen Texten und religiöser Literatur bezeugt werden. Dabei werden Fragenkomplexe diskutiert wie z.B. die nach den Folgen von Reformation und Gegenreformation für das Selbstverständnis des Theologen, nach den familiären und wirtschaftlichen Bindungen der Theologen oder nach der bedeutenden Rolle von Theologen als Autoren in der Literatur der Zeit.
