Beskrivning

El castigo sin venganza (1631) is Lope de Vega's greatest tragedy. The play dramatises the story of the adulterous relationship between the beautiful Casandra, Duchess of Ferrara, and her step-son, Federico, and the reaction of her husband, the Duke, himself a flawed and ambiguous figure. The dramatist, at the height of his powers, re-works an earlier Italian short story to explore the complexities of human desire and the grim consequences of giving in to temptation. Aimed principally at undergraduates who are new to Spanish Golden Age drama, this edition includes a substantial commentary on the text, explanatory footnotes and a selected vocabulary. The introduction sets the play in its contexts - historical and dramatic - and focuses too on elements of the genre with which new readers might be unfamiliar: performance norms, the poetry of the play and the linguistic differences in Golden Age Spanish.It is informed by up-to-date scholarship on the play from Spain and the Anglophone world.

'Likely to become a set text on Spanish courses in the UK, US and anywhere else that Golden Age drama features.'Alexander Samson, University College London‘Jonathan Thacker is to be highly commended for producing a thoroughly accessible edition of and companion to what is undoubtedly Lope’s greatest tragedy, and clearly one of the great plays of the early modern period that is finally, if belatedly, getting the recognition it deserves both on the page and on the stage.’Susan L. Fischer, Bucknell University, BSS, XCV (2018)
