"Golden Age Drama in Contemporary Spain" examines the work of Spain s three major playwrights of the baroque era, Calderon 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...

Best known today as the author of "Don Quixote" one of the most beloved and widely read novels in the Western tradition Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) was a poet and a playwright as well. After some early successes on the Madrid stage in the 1580s, his theatrical career was interrupted by other literary efforts. Yet, eager to prove himself as a playwright, shortly before his death he published a collection of his later plays before they were ever performed.

With their depiction of captives in North Africa and at the Ottoman court, two of these, "The Bagnios of Algiers" and "The...

August Strindberg is often considered the father of modern Swedish literature. His vast output of plays was innovative in style and form. Volume 1 of Selected Plays presents selections from the beginning of his career, before Strindberg's period of psychotic attacks in the 1890s. Master Olof (1872) is a historical drama set in early Reformation Sweden, influenced by Ibsen and Shakespeare. Two of his most produced plays today, The Father (1887) and Miss Julie (1888), are examples of his naturalistic plays. Strindberg described Creditors (1888), a...

This second volume of the great Swedish writer August Strindberg's plays begins with To Damascus I (1898), the first of a trilogy. It mirrors his own departure from the naturalism he had explored in several of his earlier works, as he set forth on a spiritual odyssey. Crimes and Crimes (1899), from the beginning of his symbolist mode, is a lighter take on the themes in To Damascus I. The first of a two-part play, Dance of Death I (1900) depicts a dysfunctional marriage. A Dream Play (1901), which is one of Strindberg's most influential, shows reality...

Das Dictum von Martin Opitz, Dichtung sei ihrem Ursprung nach "Verborgene Theologie," wurde in der zweiten Halfte des 18. Jahrhunderts unter dem Eindruck von Miltons "Paradise lost" und Klopstocks "Messias" erneut aktuell. Johann Caspar Lavaters Drama "Abraham und Isaak" (1776) gestaltet Genesis 22,1-19 in der Weise neu, dass er, in durchgehend emphatischer Sprache, die Handlung zum Exempel seiner unumstosslichen Gewissheit macht, der Mensch konne "itzo noch" mit seinem Glauben und Gebet auf Gottes Entschlusse einwirken.- Schillers erstes gedrucktes Drama, die Operette "Semele" (1779), ist...
