| Summary |
"This is the first monograph on the performance and reception of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century drama in contemporary Spain. The book, which attemps to remedy the traditional absence of performance-based approaches in Golden Age studies, contextualizes the socio-historical background to the modern day performance of the country's three major Spanish baroque playwrights, while also providing detailed aesthetic analyses of individual stage and screen adapatations"--Back cover. |

"[E]xamines the work of Spain's three major playwrights of the baroque era, Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Vega, and Tirso Molina, in the context of contemporary Spain and twenty-first-century stagings of their works, both on stage and in film and television. The first extended study of these dramatists to consider modern-day performances of their work in their full sociohistorical context, this volume attempts to remedy the traditional absence of performance-based approaches in Golden Age studies, while also providing detailed aesthetic analyses of individual adaptations. Written in a clear, concise style and featuring helpful plot summaries, this is a genuinely interdisciplinary work that will appeal to practitioners as well as students and scholars working in Hispanic and theater studies"--Publisher description. |
