The Calderonian Stage
"This collection of essays invites the contemporary reader to consider the works of Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-81), who became the most important and influential dramatist of the second period of the Spanish Golden Age, just as Lope de Vega (1562-1635) was for the preceding generation. A follower of Lope in his youth, Calderon, as a mature playwright, developed a drama all of his own, a drama that was highly conceptual, tightly knit, symbolic, and, in many cases, spectacular. Calderon's artistry in verbal and visual symbolism made the performance of his works a feast for both the senses and the intellect." "Until now, many of Calderon's critics have focused their attention on how the p...
A Companion to Calderón de la Barca
The first comprehensive study of Calderón in EnglishPedro Calderón 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, Calderón is most famous for his stirring dramas, characterized by rhetorically powerful poetry, dramatic structures carefully calibrated to produce poignan...

Del texto a la iconografía
La comprensió del teatre de l'inici de l'època barroca en la seua dimensió espectacular, a través de l'anàlisi de documents figuratius conservats a Espanya entorn d'aquest moment, constitueix el nucli d'aquesta investigació sobre iconografia teatral, aspecte tan imprescindible com demorat en la història del teatre espanyol. Per a examinar la relació entre iconografia i literatura, s'ha procedit a l'elaboració d'un mètode d'anàlisi del document iconogràfic teatral inspirat en la tradició teòrica italiana de l'estudi iconològic de la imatge dramàtica, que es posa en pràctica per mitjà d'un enfocament novament interdisciplinari. l'obra presenta imatges teatrals inèdites, analitza amplis repertoris artístics i aprofundeix en tot allò que la pròpia imatge requereix per a ser entesa: context històric, antecedents gràfics, simbologia, indumentària, corpus literaris i fins i tot planimetria.
Arts of Perception
Arts of Perception offers a new account of a key period in Spanish history and culture and a fundamental reassessment of its major writers and intellectuals, including Gracián, Quevedo, Calderón, Saavedra Fajardo, López de Vega, and Sor Juana. Reading these figures in the context of European thought and the new science, and philosophy, the study considers how they developed various ‘arts of perception’ - complex perceptual strategies designed to overcome and exploit epistemic problems to enable an individual to act effectively in the moral, political, social or religious sphere. The study takes as its subject the distinctive epistemological mentality behind such ‘arts of perception...
Subject Stages
