Book Description:
|
This is the first thorough study of Calderón in comparison with other important dramatists of the period. Cascardi studies Calderón's paradoxical engagement with illusion in its philosophical guise as scepticism. He shows on the one hand Calderón's moral will to reject illusion and on the other his theatrical need to embrace it.
