Calderon The Physician of his Honour [Paperback]

One of the most intellectually and emotionally engaging of the Spanish Golden Age (seventeenth century) plays, as well as the most controversial. Taking place during the reign of King Pedro of Castile (1350?1369), it is one of the spectacular 'honour dramas', in which the main characters confront compelling yet conflicting imperatives.Revisited Introduction
