Drawing on the groundbreaking Spanish scholarship and editions of earlier generations and relying on research conducted in Spanish archives, this pioneering group of English-speaking scholars offers a new treatment of familiar material. The editors yoke together widely varying critical practices, including incisive New Critical readings and far-reaching explorations that draw on the most current European critical thought. In addition to these more strictly literary studies, there are interdisciplinary essays focusing on seventeenth- and twentieth-century reception and the social makeup of the comedia audience. The whole thus presents a balanced picture of the many ways in which the comedia can be viewed, and the contributors complement each other's work in often surprising ways, illuminating the same corpus from a number of perspectives.
Charles Ganelin, previously an associate professor of Spanish at Purdue University, has edited Andres Claramonte's La infelice Dorothea and is the author of Rewriting Theatre: The Comedia and the Nineteenth-Century Refundicion.
"Divided into studies of individual texts and studies of theory and performance, the collection offers a state-of-the-art view of comedia criticism. . . . certain to promote new dialogue on the comedia."
